I need to get another scan. I'm about 3 years past due. My mom died of exactly what Tony died of. I don't mind the colonoscopy...I hate the damn prep!

(and I hate to see my lungs too!)

Yes, get a scan soon!

I was shocked to hear Brit say Tony got scans every six months.....and still it was Stage III when diagnosed?

My grandmother died of colon cancer so I’ll have to go every 5 years for a colonoscopy, instead of the 10 years. Actually, I didn’t mind the prep like I thought I was going to. I was afraid I’d get hungry but drinking the mixture with Gatorade every 15 minutes kept me full the whole night. I did have to run to the drug store the night before because the laxative pills I bought had red dye - I’m glad I checked the package before I took them!

My mom died of colon cancer, as did her grandmother. Grandfather on father’s side died of stomach cancer. Needless to say, the next few years are going to get very interesting for me.
