September 2, 20205 yr On 8/30/2020 at 3:53 AM, Craig Sawyers said: There is no logic to it hitting someone so young. One of the best professors I ever had, who went on to become president of Cornell, died from colon cancer at 52, literally weeks after being diagnosed.
September 2, 20205 yr That is awful. I have two friends in their 50s that are living through this. One has been through hell and back and is still here. The other went into remission for it to come back to the extent he has to wear a bag permanently. If ever there was a case for extending screening to those younger than 60, all these horrible examples would stand a much better fighting chance.
