How can one get checked for cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too broad: There are many forms of cancer. Most occur as we get older. You are still quite young, but there are things you need to do. At 50 you'll need a colonoscopy, unless you have a first relation with colon cancer. If you do, you need a colonoscopy now . If you're concerned , have an annual physical, and follow your doctor's advice. Please don't fret the risk of cancer. Good luck.
