being a 2x colon cancer survivor I would make sure you get your regular colonoscopies (sp). I would also strongly suggest you review your diet. If you want to contact me, I would be happy to share what I've learned. Most colon cancer is environmental.. vitamin C, fiber and making your body more ph balanced.

I'm 25 and i've just been diagnosed with polyps and diverticular bowl disease and I'm fit and healthy. And from doing my own family research i don't know of and bowl problems, but there are lots of other cancers in other parts of the body. Does that mean that I'm at risk of Colon Cancer?
