I am like you, at 57(58 next month) they’re hounding me to get routine colonoscopies, and Ive been resisting.

Do yourself a favor, and quit resisting. I'll turn 60 in a few months, and had my first colonoscopy last week. As many will say, the toughest part was the prep, i.e. drinking a gallon of less than tasty liquid. I stopped after 3 1/2 litres.

They found a few polyps, all benign. I'll make a return trip in 3 years. Entered the clinic at 8:30, 45 minutes for prep and paperwork, under anesthesia for 45 minutes...one of the best naps I ever had, that was some good stuff! lol

Polyps, that’s what Reagan had.
