Colonoscopies.When you have one and they say you are good, unless they missed something, it is with 95% confidence.If you choose the quicker and easier Colorguard, š©-in-a-box-and-send method, the results are at 70%.

A few years back my Dr said it's time to get my colon inspected. Yikes! I get it, preventive maintenance and stuff. My family doesn't have a history of colon issues so I did the easy thing... I chose not to do the probe it so my Dr set me up with a Colorguard kit. I did it with negative results.It's time to do another (I think they want one ever 3 or 5 years?) I have another kit that he ordered for me this year and it's sitting in my bedroom. I guess I should do the $hit test and mail the samples in..Interesting enough, Cologuard is based in Madison, Wisconsin.Let me get this straight. I $hit in a bucket and mail the samples back to where I went to college on your dime? That kinda hits the funny bone.Thinking outside the box. There's probably some old crap samples of mine on the shores of Lake Mendota from a drunken stumble from a bar to my apartment back in my college years. It could save Colorguard a few bucks on shipping costs.

Of course 95% is better than 70%. Duh! Cure me of being full of $hit? I think I don't think any medical procedure can fix that.
30% chance of false negative vs. 5% chance of a false negative = 6:1.That is or 6x 9600%)greater risk of using Cologuard instead of colonoscopy. No brainer to me to get a colonoscopy every five years.
