@ARosen380 @TheQueenVee A6 not sure, but my guess is men may be more reluctant to talk about symptoms or screen??? #crcchat

[MsPitzersClass @Ms_pitzer]

@ARosen380 @MNGIhealth A5 agreed. I tell everyone over 45 to get their colonoscopy, just as you would do other well woman or routine male exams! Friends with no symptoms or family history often opt for the cologuard product, and I encourage them to get it DONE! And then prepare to follow up #crcchat

@MNGIhealth @ColonCancerCoal @ACS_Minnesota Q4 no biological family to tell. My dad was an only child & I was an only child (in that bloodline) and my son is adopted due to stage 3 diagnosis at young age (chemo & radiation) #crcchat

[MsPitzersClass @Ms_pitzer]

@MNGIhealth @ColonCancerCoal @ACS_Minnesota A4 I had blood in my stool or when I wiped for years. Assumed due to constipation. Never connected the hereditary impact. My father died at 31 from CRC. Tested positive for #lynchsyndrome in 2013 after 2nd diagnosis & inevitable ileostomy #crcchat

[MsPitzersClass @Ms_pitzer]

@MNGIhealth @ColonCancerCoal @ACS_Minnesota A4- yes, I did. But we didn’t know about #lynchsyndrome at the time

[MsPitzersClass @Ms_pitzer]

@MNGIhealth @ColonCancerCoal @ACS_Minnesota We guessed it was family history for me. My biological father died at 31, diagnosed at 28. I was diagnosed at 28 also, but it was 1996 and we didn’t know as much as we know now. 2nd diagnosis in 2013, genetic testing proved #lynchsyndrome

[MsPitzersClass @Ms_pitzer]

@MNGIhealth A1-yep. All true for me in 1996. I did not have pain or notice bloating or appetite issues. However, blood in the stool was dismissed for years as internal hemorrhoids. I had no idea how huge of part the family history factor played in my situation. Lynch Syndrome #crcchat

[MsPitzersClass @Ms_pitzer]

@MNGIhealth Q1: blood in your stool and family history (this was true for me at age 28, diagnosed stage 3 rectal cancer) #crcchat

[MsPitzersClass @Ms_pitzer]

@ColonCancerCoal @MNGIhealth @ACS_Minnesota No clue how this works, but I’m here…ready for #crcchat
