Wow. Chadwick Boseman dead of colon cancer at 43. That's terrible. I've been a fan of the BP character since the '70s and it was great seeing him bring it to the screen.

Get your butts scoped folks. Recommendation is 40 if you have family history, 50 for everyone. Colon cancer is very treatable when caught early but without attention it can spread rapidly.

Some of the modern tests like colon CTs or fecal screening are promising but shouldn't be relied on without an actual colonoscopy every five or ten years depending on your family history. IANAD but consult yours and I'd be shocked if he says anything different.
