[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can also do Cologuard if you are low risk! Much simpler, and the overall outcomes (prevention of death from colon cancer) is the same.[/quote]i don’t think I’m low risk. Family history of polyps . Grandfather died of colon cancer [/quote] I am not sure what risk category that would put you in - you still may be a candidate, but speak to your doctor. The reason a colonoscopy is recommended over the stool test is that clearly you can’t cut out polyps with a stool test, and you can do that with a colonoscopy. But both the stool test and the colonoscopy are very good at detecting the presence of cancer. You talked about not getting your cancer screening at all due to transportation. Getting Cologuard would be a heck of a lot better than doing nothing. [/quote]
