I don't think that avoiding a colonoscopy is worth the risk. But at 73, I'm a high-risk patient with a family history of this disease. So I endure the test every few years, whenever my doc sez I need to. That said, I also recently used the outpatient fecal test, which I'm very glad to say pronounced me good to go. I in no way believe that replaces the much more comprehensive scope test.
As for the process, what works for me is doing the prep on a Sunday so I can be sure that I will be close to the facilities I know I will require, then having the procedure, which is quite painless, on Monday morning.
