Good to here Don,this test is a must for all men regardless of age.The worst part of the procedure is the cleansing the day before.The rest is easy.With colon cancer if your getting symptoms you only have a 10 percent chance of surviving.If they find polyps early they can be removed before they turn cancerous.It only takes a polyp 4 0r 5 years to turn cancerous.I myself have a family history and my 36 year old brother has been dead for 2 years now.Ive had this done twice now,the first time i had 3 polyps removed-i was 29 years old!!.The last time-3 weeks ago-they removed a tumor big enough that it was blocking poop basically.Dont go by-a man has to go whens hes 50 bull-its not the truth even with out a family history.The colonoscopy is a fast,painless and non-embarassing procedure that could save your life from a painfull death.The worst part is taking a powerfull laxitive and not eating the day before the procedure.Period.

Great thread Don, I lost my father to colon and liver cancer afew years back and it is the worst thing I've ever seen. I've had two colonoscopy's sence his death both times they found three pollops (spell). In a way I think some how his death has saved my life for I would be the typical man and say I don't need to go to the doctor unless I'm hurtin. And yes the clean out the day before is the worst part for sure...I do the 30 or so pills with the citra something....yuk. Glad to hear all is well with you and John...Fiber is good..Chuck

Thanks Don,it all turned out to be benign.The plumbing is back in decent shape and if i dont have anymore problems,my next rear ending will be in two years.lol.Glad to here your fine and good for you for doing the right thing.
And just to point this out again,the procedure is entirely painless and you wont even know what happened.I thought it would be crazy embarrassing and uncomfortable but it isnt at all.Now the prostate exam........wooooh mama thats uncomfortable but quick.

The golytley was a whole lot better than the other choice on the procedure checklist.I did the stuff in the small bottle last time.It was awfull.Ask your doctor for the Nulytley,its supposed to taste better.But either ways guys swallow it down and take care of business.
