Despite my family history (dad died from stage 4, cousin has stage 3) my insurance won't cover a Colonoscopy because I'm "too young". How can we raise awareness that this isn't a "50 and older" issue? How can I get a colonoscopy other than saying I'm bleeding down there?

My husband has two:

1) Are you still in contact with Adam Sandler?

2) Do the O'Doyles Rule?

Please get it done.

My dad was stubborn and uncomfortable with the idea of a colonoscopy. He was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2011 when he was 53. He died in April of 2014.

As much as you might hate it and feel uncomfortable and prep sucks, please get it done. Because the alternative is a lot worse. And I've seen it first hand.

When my mom got a colonoscopy last summer, a nurse, the radiologist, and another doctor all told me to say I have symptoms so I could get a colonoscopy. I think that's what I'm going to do.

How did you end up working with TMBG? Did you come up with the Deranged Millionaire concept or was that their idea? Thank you!
