Report was good, no polyps, and the doc told me that at age 74, no future colonoscopies were recommended! Sweet words to my ears, for sure.
Having lived thru a death in my family due to colon cancer, this procedure is nothing compared to the anguished, painful suffering of this killer. If you haven't done so already, just DO IT!!
I'd keep getting them, if I were you. My Mom had her last at 80 and started having "problems" when she was 95. She had one then and it was colon cancer. The doc who operated got almost all of it but had to take out 8 inches of her colon to do it. She got another 2 and a quarter good years of life out of it.
The doctor she had is the same one that I'm going to. He's retiring this year so I have to find another specialist. Did you ever notice that when you're young, you want an older doctor who's experienced and when you're old, you want a younger doctor so that you don't have to keep changing?
