Just had mine. Necessary evil I guess.
Thought I'd lighten things a bit.

Colonoscopy is really no big deal. Well worth it, if they find anything and its early a billion times better than it progressing.

This, but one of my brothers died from colon cancer at 40. When in at 35 and they found a shite load of polyps. I have to do it every two years and they find polyps every time. Both Mom and Dad had colon cancer along with many other family members.

Been passed due about a year for me. Last time, had one done and had to go back two weeks later to do another due to one polyp that was cancer.

Pretty sure it's 50, but I held out until 65. My urologist had just lost his father in law and his suggestion to me to have it done was quite heartfelt and moving.

It's not a lot of fun but it's tolerable and a good diagnostic.
