As several have said, do what the doctor YOU TRUST says to do. If every three years then do that, five years do that, not needed then don't worry. Just remember their job is called "practicing medicine", NOT doing an engine rebuild on your Porsche which is has to be perfect!

Still better than McDonalds, even if not quite as effective in clearing you out.

i got the orange flavor and kept it super cold. it was easy to slam. and the duration on the toilet could be measured on a stopwatch. BAAALOOOSH! done. of course you're on the toilet multiple times, but i bet it's not even a minute each session. i say, 8-minutes total if i remember the horrors correctly. i'll youtube it next time.

My bother-in-law was clear at 50 and stage 4 colon cancer at 60. They snipped out a section of colon and he had another colonoscopy at 62 and another at 65 and was clear.

Stage 4 is metastatic. Chemo too?

I've had two colonoscopies. In both cases other cancers were found as part of the process. One was a very simple melanoma, but I wouldn't have known. The other was found biopsied and excised along with 10 inches of my intestine. Very rare cancer. I'm now on a monthly infusion, and scanned every 6 months. Same cancer that killed Steve Jobs, Aretha Franklin, Dave (founder) of Wendys. There's one other members wife on Pelican who also has this.

I'll keep going back as long as they will keep doing them.

When they stop being fun?

I'm not looking forward to it. And I can't imagine the fun of the prep.
