With the growing increase in colon cancer in younger people, we are wondering at what age were you diagnosed?

I had problems in 1994 but unfortunately it was not diagnosed as colon cancer until 1995 as there was not as much known about the symptoms back then

Diagnosed five months after my 60th birthday, luckily it was early stages, most of my rectum has been removed and I am waiting to have my ileostomy reversed, so am hoping that my colon remembers what to do!
