[911 in SC]

deanp, thankfully, my last prep was the same last month. That was my third colonoscopy. My Mom died of colon cancer at the age of 58 in 1995. She only lived a year after her diagnosis. I will be 54 next month. As bad as the prep is, it is well worth it. In fact, my daughter felt so strongly about it, she is now an inside sales rep for Cologuard. Neither of us are candidates for Cologguard since we are both considered high-risk, but we both feel like any testing is 100% better than no testing.

Go get tested. Yeah, it sucks, but much better than the alternative. I watched my Mom shrivel away in no time.

1994 through the first half of 1995 was really tough on my Dad. My sister got married in November '94, my Mom died in January and I got married in May. He went from a household of 4 to a household of 1 in 6 months. My sister was 23 when she got married and I was 25. He had spent 23 years with all three of us, and he and my Mom were married 15 years before they had me.
