Eddie, glad you went.   I've had mine and I'm about two years out till the next one unless the new health law says i should just die instead.  Any of you other geezers who are holding off on having one.....well, don't .   Just schedule it and go.   As my Doc says, we are all going to die, but dying of colon cancer should be your last choice. 

Don't worry about the prep, it's no worse than a good case of what ever you get for drinking the wrong lake water, but harmless. 

And, in my case (and maybe Mullet's) if your friends tell you that you are FULL OF CRAP, well.....this will solve it.

 My one buddy told me not to worry about it. You just woke up afterwards, everybody is laughing at you farting and you have a loose, greasey feeling on the backside. Kind of like passing out at a Frat Party. ;D

Anyone remember that 1970s sci-fi movie where they shrunk a submarine and a team of doctors and injected them into this terminally ill guy's body so they could go shoot his cancer cells? Ok, you know where I'm going with this.  >:D

How about a remake, except they inject them through a colonoscopy tube?

"Alpha One, this is control. We're picking up some bogeys on our MRI scan. Check your headings and confirm location." "Roger that, Control. We're at...whazzat...OH NO! Helm, hard a'starboard! All stop! Reverse engines! Brace for impact!"

Kinda like a combo between that sci-fi movie and Titanic. Just don't ask what the "iceberg" they hit was.

And I ripped off "Alien" for the movie poster motto:


"In the lower intestine, no one can hear you scream..."

Our local Med Center is using cameras in small pill form.  Swallow, wait a day and the med. staff retrieves them.....yes, they do.   And then the camera downloads data onto a computer.  They won't replace the colonoscopy but are handy for other digestive problems I guess.

I had my third a few months ago, dad had colon cancer which prompted me to have my first one at age 50. Took the killer regimen of prep junk followed by an excruciatingly painfully enema for the first and second one, new, easy on the body prep for the latest one, not bad at all.

Talking with David Mims about his cancer prompted me to have my third after procrastinating for about 7 years since my second.

Bottom line if you have any unusual bleeding GET TO A DOCTOR. My dad was bleeding and put off getting an exam for 6 months. In this time his cancer metastasized out side his colon and it took almost 2 years of chemo and radiation to make him cancer free.

David said he waited too long to get to a doc as well after he had some abnormal bleeding.
