I had colon cancer where they check for it by putting a camera on a cable up the butt.

First, it is not a big deal at all.

It is able to spot things that need to be looked at and tell you how often you need to be tested. They told me, nothing of danger. See us in 10 years. Very reassuring.

Mrs. RWA had a few things that should be looked at in 5 years. It was interesting to see the differences between mine and hers. The poop test can't do that.

The unpleasant part is the ‘prep’. You drink an unpleasant liquid, it not only tastes somewhat unpleasant, but it has a slime factor about it as well. You spend a lot of quality time on the throne of ease.

The problem with the ‘smart pill’ that takes pictures is the prep is exactly the same and the downside is if it finds polyps you have to go through the prep again when they go in with the scope. When they go in with the scope they remove any polyps they find.

The actual ‘procedure’ is the easiest thing you’ll ever do. You are lying there on the table and the next thing you know you’re waking up in the recovery area.

I had both full narcosis (sleep) and awake.
Awake was a big deal to me and I needed a nurse to rub my stomach area due to the intense discomfort, I would say pain. While I had the doctor assure me it was almost done.
I am not recommending against though.
