    My primary care physician has been following the progress of this diagnostic blood test for several years now and we have talked about it several times. He thinks this should be done by everyone starting at age 40 and repeated at least every 2 or 3 years. He thinks continued research and development will increase the test sensitivity.

    Sign me up for this test instead of a colonoscopy the next time the calendar says it is my turn. (November 2028).

    The hour or so you will be knocked out will be your best hour of the week. Deep, peaceful sleep.

    Had one several months ago. The prep is awful, but once that is over the procedure is a piece of cake. And if the nursing/OR room staff at your place are as great as the ones at mine were, you will sail right through this thing and be home in about two hours.

    I took the pills instead of drinking the goo. Much nicer.

    Pills here too. Might be too late for Tiger but if anyone is considering this and has a choice, take the pills!

    Had mine a week ago today. I was overdue and had thoroughly freaked myself out that they would find something bad, but it all went well.

    Agree with the above comments. The sleep is wonderful and the pills are better than the Gatorade From Hell for your prep.

    The high point for me was driving through the Starbucks across the street from the doctor's office once the procedure was done. My wife chatted with the worker at the window while I sat in the passenger seat, farting loudly and horribly.

    I’m gonna man up and drink the lemon-flavored Draino in about 2 hours.

    I drank mine in two, one-liter stages, in basically two gulps apiece.

    Tastes like a bag of chopped lemon-lime assholes, but get it over quick and get to the shittin!

    And by the end of the prep, my asshole felt like a skinned knee.
