While each person is subject to their doctor's advice there are some that seem to be of a general nature, where applicable.
My wife and I are both in our late 70's and are on a cycle of having a colonoscopy every three years because of prior polyps, colon cancer family history, etc.
My wife had her's done yesterday and it was healthy free and clear. The doctor said she would normally go to every 5 years but her age and history of clear results, she need no longer have future colonoscopies, given continued good health.
I see it as good and bad news.
Hooray! No more colonoscopies
.
Boo-hiss....confirms we are getter deeper into the here today gone tomorrow age group!
