Congressman McEachin was diagnosed back in 2013 or 2014 and had rare complications that arose from the treatment.

CDC says you can wait until you're 45 unless you have family history. (In my case, my doc wanted me to get a baseline colonoscopy 10 years before the age at which my family member was diagnosed. Because my mother was diagnosed in her late 30s, I was supposed to get one in my late 20s.)

They didn't do general anesthesia for mine, it was the "twilight" stuff, but even though they say you might not be asleep from the twilight stuff, it always puts me out.
