  • yes the earlier they catch it the better, unfortunately bowel cancer can creep up on you with no or very minor symptoms that could easily be passed off as something else but at least you have a colonoscopy, the bowel prep is the worst thing about a colonoscopy the colonoscopy itself is quite straightforward
