Can you help? I am scared I need a colonoscopy and I can't afford it

(Ukiah, CA)
My name is Kate. I am 60 years old and my mother died of colon cancer at age 58. I have never been able to afford a colonoscopy, and am wondering if you have a scholarship fund for high-risk people. My health insurance (Blue Cross, $5,000 deductible) does not cover it. I am partially disabled with Lyme Disease, which gives me high medical expenses and doesn't allow me to work full time in my work as a free-lance publicist. My net income is not very much and I have to pay about $800/ month for health insurance and health care costs.
Thanks for any information or help you can give me.
