Annual Colon Cancer Check Up

by Robert Unseld
(St. Petersburg, Florida)

I believe that a screening colonoscopy should become part of the annual physical since there are medical insurances that cover it.

There is nothing to fear and it doesn't hurt. It's amazing how technology has advanced to the point that this invasive procedure can show all of the colon.

More than likely, I'll end up on my left side with my legs drawn up to receive my second colonoscopy due to some symptoms that merit this type of screening.

I would like to hear from others who need the support to go through a screening colonoscopy.

JUST DO IT
by: Jaice

I had a colon resection 2 years ago and because of that my insurance will pay for a colonoscopy every year..Preventive care is the way to go. I would rather have a colonoscopy then a well woman exam. That's how easy it is. the day before is the worst-- the lovely beverage you have to drink; but the day of it --- no sweat.
