See if your doctor will let you use the Cologuard test instead. If you get a negative on that they probably will deem that sufficient.

I did that one. My doc told me that I could do the Cologuard every three years or get the full colonoscopy once every 10 years. I ended up doing both, but that's neither here nor there.

I’ve used the Cologuard a couple of times. It’s convenient and easy. The test detects DNA markers. I think it’s accuracy is considered to be around 98%.

If you have a history of polyps or cancer in your family your doc would likely insist on a colonoscopy to get that remaining 2% covered but otherwise this test is the way to go.
