GET A COLONOSCOPY AT AGE 50

MAKE THE #2 CANCER KILLER YOUR #1 PRIORITY.

 

So, you’re 50. Have you had your colonoscopy yet?

It’s a safe generally painless procedure that could save your life.

Did you know, for instance, that colon cancer occurs most often in people age 50 or over? And the older you get, the greater your risk.

But the good news is, this #2 cancer killer is potentially curable if it is caught early, before symptoms start. So call a GI specialist today to schedule a screening, and put your health at the top of your priority list.

Medicare now pays for colorectal cancer screening, and so do many other insurance providers.

Colonoscopy is not as difficult as some people think. Many like the “peace of mind” it gives them. If everything is normal, you don’t need another test for 10 years!
