I had my first one done over 15 years ago. At the time many of my in laws made a point of telling me that they would never allow something so invasive.
Since then one of them has died from cancer that spread from the colon to the liver. The sad part is the doctor said that the cancer that started in the colon was a very slow growing cancer and probably in the works for at least 10 years before death and could have been detected early. Every one that thought I was foolish have since rushed to have the procedure done.
No one needs to die if there is a way of detecting it early. If you are thinking about it, talk to your doctor and get it done.
