Well I was diagnost with colon cancer. Luckily it was in a very early stage and surgery last Friday to remove a small section of colon was successful, i should be in the clear with no further treatment. Thought I would tell this story in case there is another procrastinating idiot out there. Can't fish or drink for a little while, talk about paying the price. Awards

That's when I decided to have the colonoscopy done for the first time at age 65 - fortunately all was ok. Get both tests done NOW!!!! Awards

Cut the drama and if over 40 get it done.

A colonoscopy is much more than fingers but even much less discomforting. Simple procedure, no discomfort at all. Edited May 8, 2012 by Shamu
