My experience is to get tested. I had a history of intestinal issues since my 
appendectomy in 1995.  Not sure if there is any connection, however the 
problems started soon after. At 40  I started colonoscopies anally, I mean 
annually.  :-)  Pre-cancerous signs showed up around 2008 and after several 
recommendations to remove my colon, I went ahead with a total colectomy.  In my 
case it probably saved my life.  But who knows?  You try to make the best 
decisions to stay alive a little longer

 that in the field of medicine, that is a huge success. I've been even more
 skeptical of modern medicine since.
 I've declined the procedure, sounds like scare tactics to generate revenue

 Adenoma Detection Rate.
 
 Adenoma is a benign tumor of glandular tissue, such as the mucosa of
 stomach, small intestine, and colon, in which tumor cells form glands or

 grows into the lumen - adenomatous polyp or polypoid adenoma. Depending

I think the recommended thing is to get scoped around 50, then future scopings

every 10 years if things look good.

Not necessarily.

If you have certain indicators, especially if you have a direct blood relative 
that had/has colon cancer, your predispostion for it is higher.

Considering that it's a leading form of cancer and a killer if left 
undiagnosed, I would do it.  A lot like prostate cancer, which Roger died of.  
Fairly easy to treat in the early stages, but will definitely kill you if left 
undetected.

Well it is actually not a big deal other than the refrain from drinking 
the morning of, and the roto-rooting, which is probably not a bad thing 
to do anyway now and again (minus the flu or travel complaint causing 
it).  Get the flush, go in the next morning, get some happy juice, wake 
up, go home and sleep, then get up and eat a huge meal.


It is one of those things that is more preventative than anything, and 
if it catches something early then you won't die a miserable death from 
colon cancer or something related.  You can save yourself to die more 
pleasantly from something else.


On another note, which sorta started all this, is that everyone should 
get a hepatitis screening, which is some minor blood-letting.  Hepatitis 
is now the leading cause of liver cancer, and chances of having it is 
pretty high no matter what your risk factors.  Many people have it and 
have no idea as they are asymptomatic, but it is still in there creating 
problems.

Checklist for a successful colonoscopy:

1.  Temporary tattoo on the butt cheeks that says EXIT ONLY.

2. Sedative for twilight sleep during proceedure.  [your doctor should be
selected on this feature for the proceedure].

3. Physical verification just before going under the staff is fully
equipped with at least a gallon of lubricant and a commitment from them
they will apply lubricant liberally .

The worst part of the procedure is the prep which evacuates the colon for
inspection. There is no way around that one.

As distasteful as it is.. do it on schedule... it beats dying of colon
cancer.

more room.  i had a rabbit hatchback in the day and learned how you can
carry an insane amount of stuff in a very small package, so i've never felt
the need for another bigger than a 300TD
