    I had one a couple years ago. They said don't come back for 10 years. I'll go again when it's time.

I put it off and put it off because I didn't want to deal with the prep. Plus the sleep during the procedure is the best nap you will have had in a long time..

          Fortunately I was lucky in that I only had a few precancerous polyps. Several of my family and friends haven't been that lucky recently. Because of this I am asking you all to get it done! Early detection is the key and we aren't getting any younger.
          Done last week! My mom is a colon cancer (survivor), so I was "lucky" enough to get one every year starting at 40 years old. All clear (sister and pops had polyps so they stayed on more frequent cycle than me), so I returned to every 5 years at 45 years old.

            Here’s something else that occurred to me…for the next three years, your @ss will never be as clean as it is this very moment.

            Mind. Blown.
