I dread this moment

So since I have turned 50yrs 2 months ago, this year is the year of serious tests to be done.. and I dread them lol... mammogram and colonoscopy.

I heard a mammogram hurts a lot and I've had a colonoscopy years back... but since I had a cancer last year, I'm scared that they may find something when I do have them tests done. I know sooner the better, but still, I dread it lol

Just need for the letter telling me ,I need to contact them for it.

You're allowed to decide what tests to have and which ones to not have.
I don't do colonoscopy because I use the fecal occult blood test, instead. Maybe you can do that and be just as safe as with colonoscopy. I nursed for four years in a row and I do my own, minute and careful breast exam, instead of a mammogram because I'm just as safe that way and there's no pain. Maybe you aren't in that category, but there are ways around that mammogram, too.
