Cologuard = no colonoscopy

Not shiting you.................... I can post my review with photos after I am done if you guys want.

The sleepy time anal rape may not be so bad after all.

Way to many false positives and false negatives from using that products for me to trust it. If you are happy with the results I am glad for you but as little trouble as a colonoscopy is I would rather know that everything is okay or that I need other treatment.

I firmly believe that a man can live long enough, never shoving a garden hose up his ass.
My doctor said we need to schedule a colonoscopy and I said don't bother. I don't need that.

Took my wife for a colonoscopy Monday. She was in shear damn misery for 24 hours prior, during the prep phase. And then we spent 5 DAMN HOURS AT THE FRIGGING HOSPITAL!!!
AIN'T NO WAY I'M DOING THAT!

My life insurance policy requires me to have one done once a year when I turned fifty, and boy am I happy because the buzzards would be circling be by now.. Y'all just get it done.

That parody with the talking box is almost as good as the SNL Christmas box skit.

I would change insurance companies. Ain't no sumbich gonna dictate medical procedures to me!!!!

Had one about 4 months ago. Prep was bad about three hours at home. Worst part of the whole deal was laying on a gurney in the hallway for 30 minutes.... fell asleep. woke me up took me in theprocedure room, laid on my side and started counting to 10.... got to 7 and I took a nice nap and woke up in recovery to my smiling wife. Easy peasy .

When fentanyl was THE drug to put us under the wake up was the most amazing, restful feeling that a human can ever have. I completely understand why MJ liked that stuff so much that it killed him. This new crap that they use SUCKS!

I had my first colonoscopy in 2012 at 48 years old, after my dad needlessly died from colon cancer. He had Outback's completely incorrect viewpoint, and paid for it with his life. Gone way too soon at 72 years old.

My cancer was advanced enough at age 48 that they had to do a resection of my colon to get all the cancer. Spent 6 days in the hospital after a 7 hour surgery. I've had a few since then, all clear, and will have them as needed for the rest of my life.

I won't miss a scheduled colonoscopy, and I suggest that the rest of you don't either. Not saying the prep is fun, but it's not much worse than a bad case of diarrhea, and the sleep while it is going on is the best you will ever have.


Or, you can decide that you have already lived enough and that the next 20 years doesn't really matter and not go. Your choice.

There are times that I'm truly amazed at what comes out of your mouth, but this is America and your are free to voice your opinion, good luck in the rest of your life and hope your family is spared the same grief that Uncle huck's family endured, from you being a tough SOB.

I'm having one next week.
I want to live as long as I can for my family and self.
I sure don't want to be thinking to myself, "I wish I had done that earlier"

I rather go to Atlanta and swallow the PILL CAM.... then, if further tests are needed we can discuss that option then.

It's all about early detection. Catch it early, odds are in your favor, advanced, not so good. Prep ain't fun but its no big deal and it can save your life. I'm sticking around as long as I can

My dad died at 42 of it and I would have been dead years ago if I had not started them at 38.

There is a book entitled "World without cancer" & is written by G.Edward Griffin. You can order it on Amazon. I highly suggest you folks get this book, read it & then apply it to your lives.

So what exactly do they do? And what prep? Im 38

The prep is clear liquids, then drink this not so great tasting stuff to finish cleaning your system out and lots of time on the toilet. When you go in, they place an IV line so they can sedate you after they give you an enema (take as much as you can stand and hold it for as long as you can stand it before expelling it). Then, they take you into the procedure room, sedate you, and essentially stick a tiny camera up your poop chute looking for any abnormalities. Sometimes they will go ahead and remove any polyps they see while they are in there.

It is usually recommended beginning at at 50 unless you have a family history of colon cancer.


I think I covered it all.

Dang thats pretty rough. Thats worse than i thought. Dang
