Tell me the truth,Doctor by Richard Besser,MD

Richard Besser is ABC News' chief health and medical editor. I recommend this book if you are looking for easy to understand answers to your confusing and critical health questions. The easy to read is due to his wife's writing skills,Jean,an author of cookbooks. One thing,he mentions that his heart history is great,so why waste money for annual tests for heart.But when he turned 50,he looked for a gastroenterologist to do his Colon Cancer Screening.He believed that waiting for symptoms for Colon Cancer could be too late.Why not get colonoscopy and get polyp/polyps removed that are source of cancer.He knows at 50,he has 1 in 4 chance of having polyp in his colon.
