There is no colon cancer in my background that anyone is aware of. I wish my Dr

had pushed the colonoscopy before I had symptoms. I did not have mine until I

was 66 yrs old.

My girls have had theirs done except my youngest at 36 her Dr says she is to

young. I keep telling her he is a quack. My oldest is scared and has cancelled

two appts. I tried looking into virtual colonoscopy and insurance would not pay

and I was told none of the Doctors were using the equipment because insurance

would not. I was shocked last night to find a large 1/4 page ad for our local

hospital for Virtual colonoscopy. It did say in fine print to be sure your

insurance would cover it. Well we only have two major insurance companies here.

Mine had said they would not pay when I checked a few months back. My daughter

has a different insurance so I hope they are the ones paying. Somebody is or

that ad would not have been in there.

Yes, This story hits home to many of us here. Yes, if we only had

been more aware of colon cancer in our background we could of been

more aware and tested earlier. Ingrid
