am 65 but never had had this done ...that changes this thur. when i go locally to have it preformed.
family doc thought it was about time i did . havent had much of any thing out of whack to complain about , occasional hard stools but no blood and eat a pretty healthy diet and maintain an exercise routine . weight is nicely in check , with in 5 lbs. of what i weighed in high school
my info on this says if they find a polyp , they " can use a thin wire snare to lasso it " yeah ha !! doesnt sound like much of a party
for the patient !
it also states " that polyps- fleshy tumors, are usually the for runners of cancer " ..... say what ? i certainly hope not !!
anyone who has had this preformed and what results were obtained , i hope to hear from .
my neighbor , who is about 80 plus years old , says it is not that bad and the prep is usually worse than the test !
still , all in all , i tend to worry when the outcome varies from one person to the next .

Worst part is the prep and not eating. They used the Michael Jackson drug on me and I asked if I would be able to "moon walk" afterwards. They said sure and I said good because I couldn't when I came it. 
(Insert rim shot). Never felt a thing. Because my father had throat cancer, I also get an endoscopy (not at the same time 
). Best part of the whole deal is stopping by your LGS after the procedure, finding out they just took in a like new, unfired 1974 Remington 700 in .30-06 from an estate and buying it for less than a new 700. 
The colonoscopy will be a piece of cake but no guarantees on your LGS having the 700.
