Had a "sigmodscapy" (sp) which goes a little "deeper" shall we say. Was 25 and all was normal, but my dad died in 81 at 52 years, from colon cancer, grandfathers on both sides had prostrate c, mom cervical, sis with ovarian. all ecept my dad turned out OK because of early detection. He went in every year for a physical but the docs kept missing it. Thnigs have changed over the years.
Free advice: When you go in for the procedure don't "assume" the pre-op and the proceedure are done in the same room. I wore my Harley boots that day and had to walk with the boots on and a backless robe across Cleveland Clinic.
I am not a proud man "butt" that can humble the best of us.
Can't wait until they have that new camera pill I saw on Disc TV. You just swallow it and it gets the whole GI track.
I hope there isn't a deposit on the camera though.......
