One of my fellow authors just recently blogged this:

She had no real risk factors (ie no family history, no predispositions) and was lucky enough for her husband to find the lump and make her do something about it.  She thought it was just a cyst, one that they had found on her last mammogram, but her husband insisted. This is so important to get checked regularly. An ounce of prevention…

This is just as important for colon health for men (and women) too! These preventative tests are annoying and waste a day, but they are worth it. One day of your time to make sure you are healthy (or to get something fixed early) is far preferable to fixing it later.

Be sure to check out Christa's works to support her!
