I finally broker down at age 67 3 years ago and had a colonoscopy. Doc said it's clear with no polyps and to have another in 10 years.

The prep was the worst part, the procedure was easy 'cuz you're put under.

>> the procedure was easy ‘cuz you're put under.

Some day aliens are going to learn about anesthesia and there will go years of campfire stories.

The absolutely BEST sleep I have ever had in my life was when I was put asleep for both of my colonoscopies.

I wish I could like Rip Van Winkle and wake up in twenty years. Imagine how rested you’d feel.

Of course the country will be worse shape though. LOL

I’m 78 and had definitive surgery for colon cancer at the end of April, 2015, a cancer that was discovered by a blood test for hemoglobin. I’d had a colonoscopy three years earlier and wasn’t scheduled for another for two more years. Given my direct, personal experience, I’d suggest you have the next one no more than five years after the one you just had.

Good news is I just had one, a bit more than six years after the surgery, and it was totally clean, meaning I can be declared “cured.”
