No, actually they recommended colorectal screening at 45, which includes blood tests, stool DNA, and stool tests. If those are abnormal, then you go visual.

So basically you don't need a colonocopy, nor is it recommended, unless something is unusual in the blood/stool or you are high risk.

Good to know, thanks! I haven't had that chat with my doctor yet.
