They take care of them as they find them. If they find one then you should be back again in 3 years. I think this is because if they find one, they may miss others. However, if they find none, you are good for 5 years. Enjoy the day prior... |

Case in point about the age thing: remember that colon cancer is what killed Chadwick Boseman. He was 43.

Interesting note about colonoscopies. They are covered pretty well by insurance if they are for screening (due based on age, not for symptoms)
However, if they find a polyp it is automatically coded as a diagnostic colonoscopy and costs more. I believe Each biopsy is also a specific charge |

Meanwhile, my brother (in Kansas) paid like $1500 for his, which found nothing. :eek: |

Yeah, the prep is the worst part of it. The give you a medication so you are still awake however you don't really have a memory of anything. I can recall being told to roll over on my side and seeing the monitor (maybe I was dreaming). I was pretty groggy afterwards and definitely needed a ride home.
Honestly, the worst part of it was waking up and seeing all of the doctors pulling their pants up... Hope it goes well. |

My understanding is I could have dangerous polyps up in there and not know it for 3-5 years when I notice blood in stools. Then it’s too late or you’re fighting for your life and doing chemo. Sounds like a scenario I’d like to avoid. Spending a day not far from a toilet sounds like a good trade off. |
