The Real timschochet 6,540 Posted Saturday at 05:55 PM Good luck to you. Hope things get better. You’re a 100% right on this. I got a buddy from Wales, mid 50s, refuses to have a colonscopy. Keeps insisting he doesn’t need it but I figure he just is terrified of the prep. I’ve done it 3 times now, it’s no biggie. And I keep telling him but he won’t listen. I fear that someday he will get bad news that was unnecessary…I hope not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BunnysBastatrds 2,328 Posted Monday at 10:48 AM Glad you’re doing better my friend. I had mine done a few months ago, along with the one that they go down your throat. They found five polyps and froze them out and collected them for cancer treatment. They came out to be benign. Also to all of us over fifty, get a sonogram, MRI, and a CT Scan. Its amazing what they find. I have three growths they are very concerned about. One the size of an acorn on my front left frontal lob on my brain. One on my pancreas and one on my lower intestines. Just do it. The more you know the better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean Mooney 1,955 Posted Monday at 12:11 PM @RaiderHaters Revenge...best wishes for a speedy recovery. Sorry that you had to go through the suffering to find the issue. I'll echo your sentiment about colonoscopies...colon cancer is one cancer they have a pretty good idea as to how it starts and the process it takes and you can get it easily detected and eliminated. I have colon cancer in my family and have had a few colonoscopies. Prep sucks but I've had polyps removed so it has been worthwhile overall. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have colon cancer in my family and have had a few colonoscopies. Prep sucks but I've had polyps removed so it has been worthwhile overall. Same. My dad died of colon cancer, so I had my first scope in my late 40s. They removed 3 polyps that they called pre-cancerous, so I get a scope every 3 years or so. Interestingly, I get my lower torso CT scanned at least once a year as part of my other cancer monitoring, but they still suggest I do the colonoscopy. I guess there is nothing as good as shoving a camera up your ass to see little polyps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
