on my social feeds I keep seeing stories about people going in to get their check and coming out with stage 3 cancer.
Those people were having issues like extreme pain in their stomach or shitting blood

You may have some polyps, but I would be shocked for someone to be in stage 3 colon cancer with no symptoms

I recommend to everyone. Sedation for colonoscopy became a thing because guys don’t want something shoved up their butt, and the doctor always pushes for it because they don’t trust the patient to just be still and chill for 15 minutes and if someone has to come sedate you after they start, they have to start all over. Its not worth it.

No sedation could not have been easier. I don’t remember how long it was, maybe 15ish minutes. I watched everything on screen the doctor saw and she pointed things out to me along the way.

Plus no sedation means you can drive yourself home. No big deal.

Without sedation it’s a faster appointment than a teeth cleaning or yearly doctor checkup.

I had zero symptoms until I got constipated and couldn’t get rid of it. No blood in my stool, I even had my wife, who’s in the medical field, look at it several times when I thought it looked weird and she didn’t see any. My oncologist said the first polyps probably started 10 years prior but I got all the way to a 5cm tumor before I felt anything
