Family history: If there is no family history of early onset colon cancer, it could be stretched to 10 years. Talk to your doctor and consider doing a FIT test each year to add one more measure to monitor. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
