Re: 3rd daughter doing colonoscopy tomorrow
I know how you feel. My brother is 4 1/2 yrs younger than me. After I was diagnosed the oncologist said all family members needed scoping. Since he didn't have nsurance it was a couple years before he got around to it. It never got far from my thoughts until he got that scope. Everything was fine as I'm sure your daughters will be. But it's worth the cost to be sure.
Male Age 53. Dx CC with numerous liver mets 6/23/12. Colon res 6/24/12. Started folfox 7/24/12. Added avastin 8/27/12. CT 12/27/12 still showing shrink. Took 17 rounds of FOLFOX. Then 5-FU + Avastin. Switched to Irinotecan for 1 yr. CEA rose to >400. Switched to Vectibix 2/18/15. CEA decreasing. Scans show some growth in liver mets. Lung Mets stable to shrinking.

Re: 3rd daughter doing colonoscopy tomorrow
Of course you are nervous after what you have been through, yet relieved, no doubt that they are getting tested.
Best Wishes for clean scopes.
