David - I never have had one of these...I understand they can be uncomfy, but not really painful. Hopefully an experience person will reply here!

HOWEVER - Tammy Faye Bakker died of colon cancer that spread everywhere. She had one initial successful treatment...but in her interview on Larry King, she said she had gone bleeding for ONE YEAR because she didn't want a male doctor examining her there!

That was her excuse anyway - and it cost her dearly. Cost her everything.

So - good for you for going through with this!
