Hello,

 

 

My father is in relatively good shape, he is 69 years old, has high blood pressure

and is overweight, but has enjoyed good health thus far. He has had blood drawn

for his usual checkups and was told he was anemic (sp?). He then was sent to a specialist

who will be performing a colonospy (sp?) where they knock you out and put a laser thing

up your bottom to see if they see anything.

 

My question is this:  Should I be concerned about this? What other signs of colon cancer

are there besides anemia? Is the procedure itself risky?

 

Thanks,

Shawn
