[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people not getting colonoscopies, you are flat out dumb.

Colon cancer is very common and also so preventable.  It's the second leading cancer killer.  [/quote]

They should make the screening easier. I need to do it but I am deterred by the prep and the need for general anesthesia.[/quote]

You know what is not easier?  Having colon cancer.  The prep and going under briefly for the procedure are not a big deal.  Recovery time is practically zero.  You do it once every 10 years after first one unless you show indications you need it more often, which if you need it more often you are happy to go get them.

My relative in mid 60s got colon cancer after never having a colonoscopy.  A colonoscopy was "gross".  I often thought about what he must have felt like knowing he was dying from something he could have prevented.  Can't be a good feeling.[/quote]

Exactly. No, the prep isn't fun, but it beats chemo any day.[/quote]
