cancer risk and colonoscopy

[Guest guest]

Hello. I was very happy to find this group. My father died of

colorectal cancer last year, and my grandfather (my mother's father)

also died of colon cancer about 10 years ago.

My doctor has mentioned that if I want a colonoscopy, to let him know,

and he will help me get one. However at my age (29), is it too soon?

Should I wait until the recommended starting age (45)? Any advice?

Thanks!
