I'm not going to go into conspiracies with this, I've already seen two pretty well-known men die under 40 (the age men are told to start getting regular colonoscopies) from colon cancer (TotalBiscuit and Billy Kametz).
Do a home test. Seriously. It's cheap, and though maybe a bit disgusting to perform, can put your mind at ease for a few years, no need for a colonoscopy.
It wouldn't surprise me if it was cheaper to buy a camera and stuff it up there or swallow a wireless minicam.
Just saw that pblabs link it measures blood presumably. How do people know it even works properly?
It's no replacement for a proper colonoscopy, but one of the early signs of cancer is fresh blood in the stool because your shit is scraping against a growing polyp or tumor.
That's also caused by hemorrhoids which are increased by sitting on your ass all day.
You'd know if it were hemorrhoids via your itchy, inflamed anus and painful inability to sit down.
Colon cancer is a silent killer; there's no pain or symptoms in the early stages other than the sense that something is irregular with your usual shits. That's why testing is critical since colon cancer is very survivable if found early.
