Doing Cologuard next week

[Polishprince]

I would recommend getting an actual colonoscopy......more thorough.......

I had a screening colonoscopy like 16 years ago. I had it at a teaching hospital, and when they rolled me in, they got me loaded on Versed and asked me if I minded if students watched.

My quote was "sure, they can join the party"

The fine print indicates that that they assume no responsibility for results might indicate a false positive or negative. If you have a family history for colon cancer go for the real thing and if you don't, don't invest in junk science.

My friend got the Cologuard and tested positive. Now she has to have a colonoscopy.

Only my sister in law, not a blood relative had colon cancer in my family. I'm taking this test for the same reason as I had a colonoscopy and other medical tests over the years. Make everyone happy, I expect a finding of negativity.
