He did tell me the older you get the risks go down for colon cancer that is why they lowered the test age to 45. Thought that was interesting and hope he is not an idiot.

I get colonoscopy updates around home sometimes, wife is an endoscopy nurse. I've never heard what you posted before. Risk goes up with age and more younger people have positive tests, from what I've understood.
