They don't even recommend starting colon cancer screening until age fifty; it is primarily a disease of older age.
Thanks for your post. The discomfort seems to move around but I'm not unusually gassy or anything. I'm the youngest in my family and everyone is still alive and healthy as far as I know. This discomfort is just frustrating to me and making my brain think I have all sorts of cancer. I just want to be healthy and lift heavy weights. So crippling.
