Had one at 36. Long family history. No health issues, pretty clean diet, not overweight, don't really drink, don't smoke, had 9 polyps. none were to the point of precancerous, but i don't think i'd have made it to 50, the recommended age at the time.
Sort of similar. Had my first at 39 because I kept complaining of GI issues. Doc said let's do a colonoscopy and I was bummed. The prep is so fricking awful. Then I go in and get the best sleep I can remember in a while and I said "that wasn't too bad" and then proceeded to fart a lot
I had 10 polyps with 2 being pre-C. Very thankful the doc sent me, because who knows how long it may have been before I got it. Did another one a year later and there were 6 more, none pre-C. Then just did my 3 year one last year and were a couple. Looking good. I made sure to really enjoy the few seconds before passing out this time.

It's the 24 - 36 hours prior that are hell.

Was checked at 31 because of follow up to diverticulitis. Had one polyp that was precancerous. Follow up is 3 years now instead of 5...

s this something my wife's boyfriend can check for me?
If he's got a 6 foot penis and you can get a go pro on it and keep the lens from fogging. Will need some air too. Gonna have to stretch that anus a little more for a compressor hose. I'll really be impressed if he can do a polypectomy with it.

It’s not bad. I had one at 32 because of family history. Make sure your phone is charged for the poofest

Four pages and no one said that colorectal cancer can be a real pain in the arse, so I did.

Was diagnosed with colorectal cancer at age 29. Never too early

My dad's practicioner recommended this since it was cheaper/less invasive. The results read something like this There's a 10% chance that everything's fine There's a 60% chance that you have precancerous polyps There's a 30% chance you have colon cancer The numbers aren't 100% accurate, but the results are pretty general, and not really all that settling. He got a colonoscopy and was cleared.
Is this typical? I was just about to order it till I read this.

I’d put it off for way too long, and was planning to have one right after I got my bloodwork done a couple of years ago.
Bloodwork came back with a PSA of 11.5, turns out I had malignant prostate cancer. So I put off the colonoscopy for awhile longer.
Finally had it done in December, about 6 months after my prostatectomy. Came back fine, no issues, but had a terrible reaction to the anesthesia. Wasn’t pleasant at all.

Order it?
I got their address from their website, took a dump in a box and just mailed it to them. Wrote my info on a sheet of looseleaf and dropped it in before taping it shut.
Still waiting for my results.

I'm still hoping that at some point in the next 9 years the technology will be reliable enough that they can just quickly CT scan my arse to see if there's anything to worry about or not.
You can already do this. It’s called CT colonoscopy. You still need to do the same prep.

I’m opting for the finger in the butt

8% false negative rate for cologuard
If you're okay with those odds of possibly missing colon cancer, go for it, but a colonoscopy is significantly more reliable.
The Cologuard is recommended every 2 years, colonoscopy every 5 years. Colonoscopy requires full anesthesia, is MUCHO more invasive and MUCHO more expensive. Cologuard, in effect, is much more reliable and effective for people at low risk, due to the frequency and virtually zero risk.
You can thank the USA's outstanding medical system for this new type of test. Free market in medicine is where innovative and effective medical procedures are born.

I understand there's a guy, in a van, down by the river, that gives colonoscopies for $25 cash, 3rd one in a week is free. No appointment necessary.
FWIW, I chose the Cologuard instead...

Colorectal cancer surgery can cause constipation or diarrhea, which usually disappears after a while. People with colostomy may experience irritation around the stoma. If you need a colostomy, a doctor, nurse, or enterostomal therapist can teach you how to clean this area and prevent infection. ct26 models are currently being investigated so that there is no need for surgical intervention to treat this type of cancer. We hope another treatment method will be developed soon.
