rintense, thank you so much. My older brother gets a colonscopy every three years (our Mom died of colon cancer), and he's been hassling me to start getting 'em too. I've had one, and am probably due for another, but I gotta tell ya, it ain't fun :-(
(BTW - I've been telling my big brother that he's just starting to enjoy these colonoscopies WAAAYYYY too much ;-)
Colon cancer is becoming more common in women now. Talk to your doctor about it and see what he/she recommends.
