Anyone ever use Cologuard?

[boykinlp]

I've done Cologard twice, no problems indicated at all.

One of my medical providers want me to get a colonoscopy, but I'm a little bit reluctant to do it. The last time somebody was poking around in my innards did not go well for me.

Golddollar, PLEASE get it done!! Much, much better safe than sorry! Your doctor isn't going to ask you to get one for me fun of it!

Once they start the Versed IV drip you won't remember a thing.

I don't remember stuff now!

The prep is certainly not pleasant but a few hours of discomfort is certainly worthwhile for the standard of care to detect significant issues. The actual procedure is nothing, easier than a Dentist teeth cleaning. I am on the three year plan and happy to do it.

Definitely do what the medico pros suggest to be certain. As noted Colonguard has flaws. I did use Colonguard a number of years ago and failed it. I did ask The Boss here is she thought I should get the colonoscopy and her only comment was no way that even I could be stupid enough to ask that. It did turn out to be polyps which were taken care of. I did request mood music before going under...Dueling Banjos and asked if they located my brain after coming back up. The nurse did say to Wendy that was a bit different and SWMBO said yes, like Jim from Taxi. I disagreed with that one because I am more like Lowell Mather from Wings.
