... Boomer alert - We may not want to get comfortable using at-home stool tests to assure us we are free of colon cancer. At my last physical, Doc said it was time for my second colonoscopy. I said, "Not so fast Doc, I can do that ColoGuard thing." He said "Yeah, but slow growing colon cancer springs from polops, which we weedeat out during the colonoscopy." Oh. So, by dodging a colonoscopy, we leave a little garden of polops slowly growing into potential cancers. ML ... out.
384 likesstevenmcclay6921 Good advice for the matures. I was recently corrected by my Dr that the PSA blood work is no substitute for the digital exam. Digital sound so high tech. 5 likes

- cwelton101980 @stevenmcclay6921 My doctor asked if I would mind if he did a digital exam. I said, hell ya, I would mind, but if you have to do it get after it.

stillsaltyaf_ Thanks! I'm of the "age" where I have to get checked out. My last gut check tells me I'm scared of a colonoscopy but if you can get, a a business man with an awesome and smart products can see sense in getting one than maybe I can schedule for you 😂 not me jk no seriously imma have to get one now. Thanks for the insight. I have my annual reminder from 2018. I just have to call and schedule which I'm now setting alarms on my phone to remember to get this done thanks to you. My colon thanks you for this😂
- vicktorvolpe @ye_ole_fart dude get it done. Hate to say it I know plenty of guys under the age of 40 who wound up with late stage colorectal cancer. Better to know and treat than ignore and too late.
- stillsaltyaf_ @vicktorvolpe I made a phone call this morning to get one in September.
j_frank24_ I love the disclaimer on those home test kits...
stillsaltyaf_ I just made appointment in September 8 th for a colonoscopy because of your post. 👍👍

beetlebzz Not gonna lie, I look forward to mine. Best nap ever.
- macman_lifestyle @beetlebzz No doubt! I woke up like I had my best sleep ever and didn't feel or remember anything.
charles_helm Yes, the benefit of the scope is the scoop...removal of pre-cancerous polyps. And if you have a family history of even just polyps do not wait until you are 50 for the first colonoscopy. That cost me more than I can measure.
