Tory didn’t expect a colonoscopy to change her life...but it did.
When Tory turned 45, she decided to follow the recommended screening guidelines and schedule a colonoscopy, even though she felt completely fine.
During her screening, doctors discovered a peach-sized polyp that was almost entirely blocking her colon. Because it was found early, it was able to be removed before it developed into something much more serious.
