On wednesday Oct. 3rd, I'll have my colonoscopy done. I have to take some pills and drink some liquid the day before. I just wanted to get this done as soon as possible. I'm a little nervous about the doctor finding something. I hope not. I can use PT support!

When I read your post title, I thought you were getting married.


Good luck with your procedure.

Hmmmm.....colonoscopy
I've had one. The only words of advice I have for you is on the day before, don't go any further than 5 ft from the toilet!!!

Really, the preparation is worse that the procedure. They give you something to relax and believe me....you will go "far far away" and wake up when it's all over.

It's a good test to have. On mine they found and removed some pre-cancer polyps...they even showed them to me (I asked to see them). Don't be nervous. Just look forward to the drugs.

Joyce, it sounds like you received a good report from the doctor. I'm glad I was able help you through this and give you moral support.

For all you brave folks going through this, take heart! It's working. The stats on cancer deaths came out yesterday and they're dropping by 2% a year, thanks in part to people putting up with these obnoxious tests. Good for you!
