Ugh, I still need to get one but I don’t have insurance. My sister’s been bugging me about it lately, too, because our mom died of colon cancer so we’re high risk. I tried to get one in 2020 when I still had insurance but had to cancel due to my son getting sick, and I never rescheduled.

I'm so sorry about your Mom... and perpetually angry that we don't have single payer / Medicare for all. Depending on the state, some places offer free or discounted screenings. Truly hoping you're able to access the healthcare that you need. www.cancercare.org/questions/354

Thank you. I appreciate you. AZ doesn’t have any programs for that, unfortunately. Just for breast cancer screenings at certain clinics.
