I Have Had A Colonoscopy

I am just recovering from my colonoscopy. It went well. The doctors could not find anything wrong. So it means that I am subject to further tests. The staff were very professional. I am sure that I was singing to the radio at one point. I am glad that I can actually eat something now.

Have had so many colonoscopies done that I have lost count, but thanks to them I have now beaten bowel cancer twice.

@cd4259 Glad to hear that you have beaten cancer twice.

@Sroonaka616 the procedure is a pain in the ass but staying on top of things may mean early detection and winning the fight.

Lucky you -- my doctor won't give me the colonoscopy until I go and have a stress test o my heart. It's a pain. The closest place to go is half an hour away. The doctor said it would take 2-3 hours; then his secretary said it would take 3-4 hours; then the woman who called to confirm the appointment said it would take 4-5 hours!

Could that exam potentially damage your insides?

I have no idea but it might be better than living with painful cramps @Temporallube

@Temporallube No. The equipment that is used is designed specifically for this procedure.
