Please DO get those colonoscopies. My family has a genetic error that makes us much more likely to get colon cancer, and I must have colonoscopies every two years.

Zoom-zoom and shootingstar, my heartfelt sympathy to you both.
Thanks. We (my siblings and I) learned that my dad's grandma died of colon cancer (one more reason he was a dumb@ss to not regularly go through screenings...especially when it's so preventable/treatable). My dad's years of smoking certainly didn't help matters, but we will likely need to have our first screenings before the usual recommendation of 50. I'm almost 42, so I'm guessing by 45 I'll be advised to start my screenings.
