Are you talking about colonoscopy?

Yes I am. Sorry to not be more specific. :-)

Because of family history, I started going for the colonoscopy in my 40's. First time they found a precancerous polyp. If I hadn't gone, I could have full blown colon cancer right now!!

Please, people, for the sake of you family and friends - go for the scope!!

Yeah, what Kitty said. It’s a VERY effective way to remove many if not most colon precancers before they get a foothold.

The prep is not fun, but it’s not painful either. The actual event is really no big deal.

Plus, as a bonus, Mrs. Tick asked them to look for my head while they were up in there, and they actually found it and extracted it (temporarily)! :-)
