Good to hear. Now, you can get back to a more "regular" routine.

Good to hear, man. I guess I did not mention it, but I lost one of my best friends in my entire life this year to that kind of cancer. It took a long time but finally caught up with him. I really hate that disease. I am so glad it came out for you. You won't have any problems doing it again the next time it comes due.

Thanks. I appreciate that. I lost my first cousin a few years back to colo-rectal cancer, so I don't take it lightly and neither should anyone else.

Yeah, he is a precautionary tale now. Unfortunately, he ignored the warning signs and got his colonoscopy too late.

Glad it worked out, I suspect that you will be acutely aware of your AH, for a couple of months.

Can't be said enough.....when you get close to 50. go have it done. I did, and they found Stage 2 cancer and scheduled immediate left colectomy. 12-14 inches of large intestine removal later, been cancer free for 5 years now. I was very lucky.

The current recommendation is now 45. The change is because they are finding colon cancer in younger folks now.

I think it’s due to the food the FDA wholeheartedly approves for Americans
USA! USA!

I was in my mid 40's when I started having issues and symptoms that led to my first roto rooter. Doctor came in and said I was extremely lucky as I had a very large polyp that he said was extremely close to turning. I was very fortunate that it was exhibiting colon cancer like symptoms before actually being that. My doctor's nurse was a colon cancer survivor and was convinced I had it. So relieved when it wasn't. A lot of folks aren't so lucky.

The prep isn’t nearly as bad as it was 15-20 years ago. The first one I had the prep consisted of take a whole box of Dulcolax 24 hrs before the scope. Then another box 12 hours prior to the scope. That was brutal.
