I’ve had 5 or 6 (lost count). If they find anything threatening they do another a few months later, and another. Once the threat is over the next is 6 years. What a great sense of relief when they they say “come back again in 6 years”
The worse part is the prep and with that comes a loss of control of the urge to run to a toilet, again and again. That .may leave you with a chancy feeling about the drive to the clinic for the procedure itself. For peace of mind there, consider wearing an adult diaper on that trip and carry an extra one, just in case. Neither will likely be used, but the peace of mind is priceless.
