@verol65 Thank you for posting this article (that you provided as a gift) to our members. I read this article and the statistics are pretty frightening. I had my first colonoscopy at age 50 (in the year 2002) when the guidelines first changed to include my age group. I had to badger my insurance company to pay for the colonoscopy, with my doctor's help, at the time. Now the guidelines are changing again to include younger people and it's evident that colorectal cancer is disproportionate across ethnic groups. The NY Times article include all of this. It's important information.
