... to inform people to get their colons checked.

My father had colon, liver and lung cancer. He had a good piece of his colon removed and ended up having a lung removed right before his death.

Both of my brothers and I go in for colonoscopies every 2-3 years. The doctors have found polyps in each of us and remove them during the exam. Early detection is the key.

I think her main point is to pay attention to the signs and take appropriate medical steps.
