177. Condolences
Sorry for your loss.

I hate to get even a little political at times like this, but bear with me.

I'm in my mid-50s, and I got a colonoscopy about a month ago. Suffice to say, it was timely. As a result, I would endorse doctor recommendations to get this done.

Now for the politics - It cost $5,000 plus. I have insurance, and my portion was minimal, thank goodness. But for those without insurance, or without the ability to pay this even over time, it's, well, it's a killer. This is the country we now live in.
