my friend has lost a father,and 3 siblings to colon cancer..she gets them like clockwork. every year...for her.
i think you should get one every 10 years. reguardless.
i do. my husband does, he is 56 and has polyops (sp?).
i don't see how the prep can dehydrate you that bad. you have to drink 64 ounces of fluid with the miramax, (and we were told to use gatorade or a clear liquid.) or whatever stuff they recommend..the time spent in the procedure room, and recovery is only 2 hours max.
if you had read all the emails and letters of the people who were "saved" when katie couric had one done on tv. (her husband died from colon cancer..i think you would change your mind. IMHO
