    Damn, that’s rough. How old are you (range is fine) if you don’t mind me asking? I’m in my mid-30s and thinking about trying to get my Doctor to get one covered for me.

      56, I started having problems with anemia last year, doc ran it to see where my blood was vanishing to, found 17 polyps but no cancer.

      But the rule of thumb is, if they find more than one, you come back and do it again.

      6 more + stage 2 cancer.

      It didn’t make it out of the colon though, so the surgery got it all. I just don’t have a sigmoid colon anymore.

      So, yeah prep sucks, but get checked!
