I have the same thought regarding my daughter. If she has similar bowel issues as me or comes back Lynch positive I will push for her to have them earlier than 30 as well. I would rather they catch anything that may be wrong early.

That would mean insurance would cover her at 29, butt...I know from having my own issues for so long, also hers (she was pretty much born constipated and on meds most her life for it) I want her to get her first at 19, that would make it an even 10 b4 her scheduled. Or should I say 24, which is 5 yrs b4? I really want it at 19 tho because her prior issues. So my question, as a parent, what would you do? (She is 13 now)

Nik is this only if you're Lynch positive or all who have CRC? I was dx at 69, so that's pretty old for my daughter at 59, but I am Lynch negative. Thx
