Damn straight – way too hard to get a colonoscopy
I’ve been saying this exact thing for the last 5 years. The amount of 30 to 40 years old in my community with colon cancer is absolutely frightening.
How? I haven’t had a family doctor in 30 years
Am I supposed to take a day off work to line up at a walk-in and maybe even get turned away for more serious patients?

I wonder what caused this in the younger generation? The food we are eating or just our eating habits?
Prevention is always easier than treatment.
I wonder if this is related to dietary habits, particularly less fiber and/or higher intake of processed foods.
Oh so you mean all the shit my doctor has actively discouraged me from because I was „too young“ they’re now rethinking? Who’d have thought this was a good idea all along?
4 male coworkers dead in their 40’s. Colon cancer accounts for 3 of them.
If you have any family members who’ve had colorectal cancer, or even just polyps removed, that is evidence that you are possibly at risk yourself. Tell your family doctor or the walk-in clinic. My family doc was happy having me do FIT tests regularly, but I insisted on a coloscopy because I had two aunts who had colorectal cancer and another with polyps. When I had mine at 50, they found 4 polyps, one of which was a pre-cancerous adenoma. FIT tests won’t find stuff like that until it becomes cancerous. Also, eat more fibre.
With what doctor to issue me a requisition?
My cousin is one but she ran the fuck away from family medicine. That’s how fucking bad they make family medicine in Canada, Quebec, etc.
can someone in their 30s get one?
I support publicly funded health care
At the same time, its issues like these that remind me that even publicly funded health care is vulnerable to decision makers who may have other interests to consider
Scientists and health providers have been advocating for years to move up the age for screening of breast and colorectal cancer screening but Canada has been slow to adopt new guidelines
