My mom died of colon cancer, with mets to the liver. She had NO treatment, and thus had five good years. She didn`t really deteriorate until the last 2 weeks! She saw the horror and misery her mom had gone through with breast cancer and the primitive chemotherapy available back in the late
1940s, and decided it wasn`t for her. Me neither.
I`m NOT afraid of death, after all, it is merely the doorway back to where we came from in the first place.
If I get cancer, hey, I`m done here, and get to go Home!
Marshalee

*This is basically correct, Marshalee, in fact they cant get beyond the dec.col. at all now; but the entire colon can be quite nicely viewed-- I have had them with and without sedation [same with endoscopic] and there is some discomfort from the air pressure inserted to shape the colon for a better view and things can get a little crowed in there if they turn the scope around for a look in the other direction such as to look at the anus from inside. There may be discomfort [moderate pain] if they snip of suspicious tissue for analysis. They can even remove polyps with the thing; I would imagine this would always would be under sedation. Afterwards, there can be quite a bit of passing of the air I mentioned and some are embarrassed [yes, em-bare-assed]. Not everyone is thrilled to have someone poking them around there..... but what the heck.... your life might be worth saving..... imagine how your loved ones would feel..... how Katie feels about her husband not having had this relatively simple testing.* *An interesting perspective about it all is, as some maintain, that it ALL occurs OUTSIDE the body [except for the IV, if used]. From the nose straight thru to the anus, is considered by some to all be outside the body, hence, about as non invasive as you can get.*
*        ...as I said before:  *
*if you have no familial colon prob, are under 50, no symptoms of colon*
*prob. NO one they are responsible for/to, *and *no family that gives a damn*
*about em..... if you don't care..... you're silly.*
