Have my second colonoscopy on Friday. It has been about 3 years since my last one and I am super excited [sarcasm] . This time all the prep condiments are otc which I hope equates to better tasting. I think I am going to take this week and gorge myself since it will all be coming out anyways. Years ago when the doctor had to insert what I believe to be 1 finger I asked him if this meant we were dating and if they had any buy one get one free offers. He just stated that as a doctor it wasn't one his favorite things to do. I asked him next time to wear a glove though.

I think they still recomend the colonoscopy starting at age 50. I put off my first one until 53 and just had one 5 years later which was this year. So all was good and 5 years from now for the next one.

The Cystocopy's were because of blood in the urine so they wanted to be sure there was no cancer.

Sounds like hell, unless you're Vic...he started getting them at 3...now he's up to 2 a month....anyway...Fellas, we're bad ass and swagger and all but we're not badder than cancer. That stuff is the worst. GET YOURSELF CHECKED. We lost one of music's legends because he didn't. Frank Zappa was ate up with prostate cancer and slid down so fast the doctors couldn't do anything for him.

There's no shame to having this test done. Do it for you, your family, your friends...just do it.

50 is NOT necessarily the right age.

Family history as well as one's health history and conditions need to be considerations.

Let your doctor decide, not some guys on a discount cigar forum...

I'm 37 and this will be my second one. Once I had my first one the doc said to get one every 5 years or so.

Whoa. Unless you have a family history of colon cancer or symptoms of colon cancer you are way too young to need a colonoscopy. You don't need your first until age 50.

Definition of a colonoscopy? A long black tube with an a**hole on both ends.

First time was due to having bouts of diverticulitis. It's been a little over 3 years of pain free living and I got hit with another attack. Just a to be sure colonoscopy I assume. So technically you are correct and after re reading your post I didn't need to reply. Ha!
