I started with a simple stool sample. If you have a family history do it as early as possible. If I would have waited until I was 40 my Doctor said I would have been too far along to make it.
I HAD a cousin that waited too long and ignored the blood in his crap and died. Colon cancer is easily detected and preventable. Read up on it.

I had one two years ago, and I had two polyps of the type the Doc said "could turn into cancer". Had another one this year and I'm good to go with another one if five years.

No worries Joe. Sarkozy has an excellent shot at being the new president of France and he's a good guy. We'll know Sunday.

Most of you are lucky. My recent colonoscopy showed moderately severe diverticulosis, and the sedative didn't do a thing while they were in there - and that wasn't very long because the doctor could only go so far with the probe. Because of that, I had to be scheduled for a barium enema. That thing was a lot worse.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the procedure, Kurt!
 Now that reminds me of a slightly embarrassing episode in Med School. My class was given instructions how to use the recto-scope, voluntarily practicing on each other (imagine that!). We were, naturally, feeling awkward and a bit embarrassed. So, there we are, a group of 6-8 students watching one of us on all four with his 'partner' having desperate attempts to correctly insert the recto-scope. Both very nervous. The guy fiddling with the scope, afraid he is hurting his partner, goes: - How does it feel ? OK ? The bent-over guy (without thinking) answers: - No problem, feels just fine!
