Default It is no big deal.

I hope all of you will consider finding the best gastroenterologist available and scheduling yours if you are over fifty. Katie Couric sadly lost her young husband to Colon cancer and now campaigns for colonoscopy. Medical guidelines suggest you have your first one at fifty.

It is a test that saves lives.

On my first one, I had cancerous polyps removed. AND never felt ANY discomfort afterward at all. It was painless...The yucky part is the prep, but doable.I would chug and go outside and walk around for a few minutes and think about Christmas trees.

Please do it for yourself and everyone who loves you. And for all of us here so we can enjoy your friendship.

Please share the name of a gastroenterologist locally who you trust.
