Colonoscopy ... give me good vibes

There may be a less shitty future in store for many.

FDA approves blood test to screen for colon cancer

 

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).

 

I have not had a finger jammed up my ass in years…

A man’s finger…

 

T-minus 32 hours and counting.
3pm buttscope scheduled for tomorrow. Gulping of the drain-o starts this afternoon.

 

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!
