OK - I won't tell you the story.

All I'll say is that since I had one 22 years ago I will never miss a scheduled date for a colonoscopy.

I have also told every one of my friends who is over 40 that they should have this test - in its full colon form - not just the sigmoid exam.

I had my first colonoscopy at 66 and that will be my last. The procedure itself was painless, but hated the prep. Anyway there was not even a hint of polyps, and I do not drink or smoke and eat lots of fiber. However I intend to have regular Hemocult tests.
