Most cases of colon cancer the person does not have a family history. (Could still be genetic, it's just we don't all come from families with 10 kids where you find out more about what runs in family). The colonoscopy is essential because you can remove polyps that could either become cancer or could grow to a size you need surgery.

They can provide names for medical transport, etc. Call the office or ask through portal. happens all the time-not a big deal, just make sure you line it up ASAP.

Do you really think this didn’t occur to op?


I think OP has health anxiety and repeatedly posts this same question to delay the procedure.



Huh? First, EVERYONE delays a colonoscopy. Second, many people find themselves without rides.


No? I didn’t and neither did DH. (I also don’t delay my mammograms).
