I think Katie Couric's husband died from colon cancer in his forties too. but unless it runs in your family, you wouldn't be looking for it at that age
The Baltimore Orioles first baseman, Trey Mancini, was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer earlier this year. He is only 28. The only reason it was found in time was because of the extensive testing and examinations players undergo to play for their teams. Even though he has received surgery and chemotherapy he is not out of the woods yet. If such a fit and healthy young athlete can get it, anybody can.
