[quote=Anonymous]I've had to do it every five years since I was 18. I'm 47. I had cancer in my appendix and pre- cancerous lesions throughout my intestinal tract my senior year of high school. It's not that bad. I did it with the pills once and that was much more difficult. Just drink the liquid quickly without thinking about it. It doesn't really taste that bad, but it's easy to psych yourself out about it. Watch a movie or play on dcum to distract yourself while you drink. I've never had bad cramps. But you will spend a lot of time in the bathroom. You'll end up with nothing but clear liquid coming out of you. And the procedure is nothing. You'll get a good sleep! And think about it this way - It's really, really, really important. These types of cancers are very treatable when caught early. I am so thankful that my doctor did that first colonoscopy and removed those polyps. The procedure is nothing compared to surgery and chemo.[/quote]
