Colonoscopy Tests

This is a great test to determine if you have or could possibly have colon cancer in the near future. My husband had the test and they found a huge tumor. They were able to remove it completely and in time. He did not have too have any follow up treatments such as radiation or chemotherapy. Colon Cancer kills many people each year. If you haven't had yours, please do so. It could save your life.

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer sneaks up on men. There are no symptoms. If you get really sick, then chances are it is in your bones already and there isn't much hope. It is very important that all men get a PSA blood test by age 50. I think age 45 would be even better. Men in there 50's usually have to have surgery if diagnosed with prostate cancer. An enlarged prostate can also give a high reading of PSA but they take biopsies to find the cancer for sure. Men over 70 aren't offered surgery usually, but rather radiation or hormone shots. It is a sneaky disease and worth a man's time to check into it.
