I've had issues with my guts for years... My wife nagged me into going to the Dr. and they set me up for a colonoscopy.
Everyone is correct. The procedure is nothing,. The prep is the worst part. If I hadn't held on to something I believe I would've looked like a Saturn V rocket lifting off...
When the doc went over the results with me he said everything looked good except my colon looked a little irritated... Hey, no kidding Doc? Think maybe the gallon of TurboLax might have a part to play in that?
Stay positve. Keep a sense of humor. Get the test done.

Colon cancer can kill you just like every other cancer can. It's really not a big deal to go get scoped, just do it. I never went at 50 like they recommend didn't know there was family history either. So at 56 when I had some issue I went to the Doc and he sent me to get scoped. Ended up I had a cancer about size of a nickle low in my colon. Not a really nasty one but to big for the tool on the scope that picks the little ones off with. My treatment turned into a long dragged out deal for me with 4 surgeries total, one a major deal. Two different times I 'm told they had all my guts out laying on my chest. Chemo with radiation, surgery and then more chemo. So for me getting scoped is far from the worst thing they can do to you. Obviously my cancer didn't kill me, but it for certain changed my life. I learned that every person it's different and everyone while they may get treated the same reacts different. I don't consider myself lucky, lucky is winning the lottery. I'am very fortunate though that things turned out they way they did for me. End of this November I'm considered cancer free 4 years now. Come February 14th 2019 it will be 6 years since they found my cancer. So anyway I always tell people just do it getting scoped the easy part. I wish you the best and hope it works out..they do get false positives and I wish you one.

Those quicky test's have a lot of false positives, do the full on test and they can remove any polyps as they are located. Not all polyps are cancerous.

Don't put it off. I did and ended up with stage 3 and 4 colon cancer. After having 30 inches off my colon removed and 6 months of chemo I am still here. 9 years later. I was getting pressure from Dr. to have the scope for 7 years before I developed signs. DON'T PUT IT OFF! Your spending your time on the things that aren't important. Good Luck

Everyone is correct. The procedure is nothing,. The prep is the worst part. I've had 2 and don't remember a thing from either one, although I think I came to a little bit on the first one and they gave me more Versed and out again. Most guys are a bit gun shy having the back door played with but these people see more ***holes in a day than most of us see in a lifetime. Your butt means nothing to them. My wife had one 2 weeks ago and with a little Milk of Amnesia (Michael J,'s favorite) and 25 minutes she was back in the room and remembered nothing. Get it done!!!

My experience was a lot different than a lot of yalls. It was nothing really but I remember the whole thing. Wasn't out for any of it. Even watched the little jaws bite off the polyps on the screen.

That’s the one area they can fix.....and don’t worry about the actual test....your in a deep sleep ..probably ice fishing or racing slot cars !! Keep us posted ! I’ve had 3 so far. I had one while fully awake, it wasn't pleasant to say the least, felt like I was overinflated
