Have you got your genes tested? People can have Lynch syndrome and not develop cancer. Colon cancer is also a silent danger in that it can grow for years without any noticeable symptoms.

I got colon cancer at age 35 (despite being a vegetarian, BTW), and it was first then that suspicion was raised that there could be a hereditary component - which was later confirmed by a gene test.
