Hope this test or one similar to it gets perfected soon. I’m due for my five-year colonoscopy check this fall. The prep is worse than the actual procedure.

That is so true! My colonoscopy was scheduled for noon on a Monday. On Friday the office called me to ask if I could come in at 8:30. I said “YESSSS!!!” I was dreading waiting around to go to the office after doing the prep.

No kidding. The laxative liquid I had to drink tasted awful. Now they won’t even do colonoscopy on me. The nurse doing my pre-procedure interview told me the do not do colonoscopy after age 80. There is too much chance of perforating the bowel. But because I was in such good shape, they accepted me at age 84 (last year).
