It’s that season of life, tomorrow morning is colonoscopy time. For the
other old farts on this list, I’m sure you know how today will be going for
me.

Been there, done that. Far better than dying of preventable colon cancer, like

I had read that at one point. The suggestion was that the number of real
issues found was very small compared to the expense of having them. I don't
remember if there was another, less invasive procedure to replace it or if it
just wasn't worth it.
My doc has not suggested one yet.

Just be sure that they draw blood before doing the finger exam. The finger
irritation can cause an increase in the PSA, triggering a false alarm.
I Doc told me once that the colonoscopies reduce the chance of dying from
colon cancer by under 10% and he thought that was a big deal. I told him to
My guy in Houston at MDAnderson agrees, but once it’s determined you have
prostate cancer (by seeing an increase in your PSA as you diligently monitor
it), the digital exam is a must because they can tell a great deal by the feel
of the cancer ridden places.

I believe he is correct. I think they found that a PSA test as part of your
bloodwork is as effective (or more) than a “digital” exam. Thank goodness!

My guy always gives me the liquid you mix with Sprite or something like that to
mask the taste. One dose around 3:00-4:00 pm then the other around 9:00-10:00
pm. Completely emptied out and ready for bed before midnight for a morning
procedure.
I fast regularly, so going the better part of a
Rule of old age:
Never take a laxative and a sleeping pill on the same night.
Good luck !!

On the other hand colonoscopies, if compared to the torturous MRIs and the
awful biopsies one deals with when dinking around
What I don’t get is this. Instructions from the doctor say to basically only
eat broth all day. This is a 2 dose deal. First dose is one pouch and 2nd dose
is 2 smaller pouches. I’m supposed to do the first dose at 6pm and 2nd dose
both pouches at 12am. I’m supposed to stay up till midnight for

Heh. Time for the good old colon blast. Echoes when you fart. Get some good
