The fuse is lit

My wife was tied up in meetings and I walked 3/4 mile to the hospital with one of mine. I did have a bag with a change of clothes but was pretty empty by then.
 
I was prescribed "Sutab" as the prep for my last procedure.

Six tablets with water and another 6 some hours later. Most "pleasant" of the preps that I've used. Luckily, I'm on 10-year cycles.

That's the way to go. Had that the first time. Last time they said "Your insurance won't cover that now" and gave me the lemonade swill . . . thankfully should be almost ten years until they want me back if I live to need another . . .
 
I have had colon cancer, twice, so I'm well known at the bore scope shop.
Never had the cherry stuff. Had lots of powder mixed with Gatorade in a gallon jug the powder comes in sent by the VA. I call it "antifreeze" cause that's what it looks like, but antifreeze tastes better. :mad:

Had a kit years ago a doctor gave me. Small cardboard box, but I forget the details. It was the best, easiest prep I had up until that time.
Last time, I used a Dr. in community care through the VA. The VA sent me same old gallon jug. The Dr. liked a prep called Sutab <click. The VA wouldn't cover it. I paid $60 for it. Well spent! I heartily recommend it. ;)
 
Well the results are in. I am a perfect alpha hotel-but then again you guys knew that. And the prep is wearing off. The Suprep is a lot better than the old stuff. Works quick and fast-like about 15 minutes :eek: Got some deer sausage thawing out and intend to throw it and a couple of teal I shot yesterday morning on the pit tonight.
Serious thought-this is absolutely the very best thing you can do for yourself-it is the gold standard for testing for colon cancer. The procedure is a snap-it's the prep that is a bear. DO IT!! If not for yourself for your loved ones.

In addition to the above commercial, those of you in the 50+ area would do well to find yourself a good urologist. Prostate cancer doesn't always stay in the prostate.
 
Had one last year. VA prep was nasty. Had 11 hangers on, so I go back in 2 years now. Think I'll ask for a prescription and pay for that Suprep.
 
For future reference, that nasty drain cleaner stuff, regardless of "flavor" is much easier to tolerate if you drink it through a straw. My doctor advised it, and it works. I didn't notice the taste as bad, and it went down much quicker.
 
While I'm not quite 50, my primary suggested that I start cancer screenings early, mainly because,I don't know what my family history is because I'm adopted. After seeing what happens when folks wait/ignore problems until things get bad to the point where they see a doc, I'm cool with it. I'm healthy, active, at my ideal weight, and most importantly, not on any meds, but, what's the saying, "An ounce of prevention..."

Anyway, I got the cologuard boxed set. I got emails, text messages, reminding me to get it done. That's a test that's looking for traces of blood, if they find any, more tests. Well straining, or bloody plies, to mention a couple, will give false positives. Obviously, traces of blood where it's not supposed to be, never a good thing. Long story short, nothing turned up on mine.
 
I had my last one in March. Once you hit 75 they don't schedule you for any more. I won't miss that prep one bit.
 
16 oz of a Vile tasting cherry flavored liquid followed by 32 oz water within the hour.
Repeat at 11:00.
Wife has been instructed to keep bathroom clear.
Got new American Rifleman and new DU magazine in position.
Think I'm ready :rolleyes:

Be glad you got the 2 x 48-oz variety. You could have been given the gallon and a half version of the prep. The 3 quart version is much easier to swallow...

Been there, done that.
I don't think anyone is ever ready, for what is about to happen to them.:)
