Its the difference between one day every decade spent reading books on the john and "Sorry, you've got colon cancer and 6 months left."
Thats a really stupid stubborn way to die.

Agreed.
I have constant issues with my PSA levels being right at the high limit of 4 or slightly above, and I've had 3 colonoscopies now--at 50, 55 and 60, and there were non-cancerous polyps removed each time. I remain on the 5-year plan.
To me the minor inconvenience of the prep is totally worth the effort, and since I eat pretty cleanly to begin with I really don't have too many issues with the purge.
I will say that the biopsies on my prostate are much worse overall than any of the colonoscopies have been, and that's no exaggeration.
