Man oh man would I hate being someone who opens up bowls of mailed in poop for lab testing all day... too much money wouldn't be enough
Not a Dr but be careful with that. The box tests don’t pick up polyps very well if I’m not mistaken and the classic scope is low risk and the better way to go. In terms of accuracy
I’m 30 and had about 3-5 scopes between age 18-26. Not the funnest thing in the world but it is not the big scary thing it’s made out to be. If you’re lucky they might give you some drugs before they roll you back that almost makes the experience worth it lol

May I ask are you having any symptoms?
No symptoms at all, thats why doc recommended a mail in as an alternative
One good strong cup of coffee in the morning is all it takes to keep things moving asap... no worries [Reply]
Do it guys, if possible. Had mine a couple of weeks ago. Found a something something ulcer of the colon. Biopsy shows possible cancer. Going to yank that piece out. Thankfully due to the location, not supposed to have a bag. It was my first and I'm 54.
P. S. Being it's an ulcer and not a growth they aren't too concerned about it. Although I've started getting a black stool, and can get very dizzy because of low hemoglobin. So it's bleeding. Going to monitor and get on iron pills and more labs Friday and Monday. [Reply]

Dang man sorry to hear that. I’m glad I got checked young and will continue to do so (family history among other things). Bleeds that literally making you tired has got to suck

Awesome! Just please be sure to get anything checked out if even the slightest symptom prevails. Grandad died of Colon Cancer and it spread to other organs quick. They thought they caught it early but even at the stage it was, it had moved to other places unknown at the time.
Not trying to scare anyone it’s just a lot of my family has died from cancer and it was very preventable in a lot of cases. I’m passionate about others keeping a close eye on it [Reply]
Time for the VA to do their thing tomorrow. Not for the 1st time, but the 4th. Fucking burn pits. At 6pm tonight I will be on my way down the Hershey Highway to drop all the kids off. [Reply]
