Radiation…..son, they are likely to first perform a colonectomy and remove the affected portion with possible colostomy.
You are being extremely careless (and possibly stupid) to listen to obviously bullshite advice. Seriously.
This whole thread needs a colonoscopy!

Doctors just enjoy viewing them.

No. I do not need things up my butt. Besides when God wants you to go he will take you to a better place.
Pray and all will be well.

Not only can colonoscopy catch cancer early, it can prevent it by removing precancerous polyps. Nothing is 100% in medicine but this is a cancer that can be prevented. Alternative screening methods are available such as stool tests for occult blood or DNA changes but none of these are as accurate as colonoscopy and none of these can remove polyps. Also stool DNA tests are not cheap even though they are not invasive. Colonoscopy is invasive and does have risk. Risk is low in most cases especially if done by a gastroenterologist with experience.

And try to tell me they do more harm than good. Further, even if cancer is found, you don't want to do radiation, you should just change your diet and clear up any cancer that might be there
Sounds like you know quite a few people who also avoid the recommended retard screening.

The poop in a box test is just as effective... but if you pop something suspicious there they will recommend a scope up the poop shoot.
quote:yea but they could be cancer... and you wont know until its too late without a colonoscopy.
Polyps are NORMAL. Polyps do NOT indicate cancer.
quote:im willing to bet more pathologists have gotten one than haven't. your anecdotal evidence sucks. how many have you asked 1? 2? great sample size.
I asked several pathologist about this same issue, the most common answer from them was "I am on the fence about it, but I haven't gotten one for myself".
quote:well maybe those pathologists should have specialized in something different and would have the ability to order the tests they want. in most scientics fields, more data is better.
I am frequently talking to pathologist about MD's ordering tests that are not needed and getting help to modify MD's ordering behavior. It is extremely rare the pathologist tells me a test in question made sense, most of the time I get "That was stupid" or "They ordered what?"

Yea I have supremely bad family history so I had to get mine at 30. It wasn't bad at all and the anesthesia they used during the procedure caused what is quite possibly the single greatest morning of my life

My oncologist is making me do one. Found out after my last surgery that Versed doesn’t work on me so this will be fun.

I did it and it was easy.

I recommend it but Dr's won't do them on Bama fans since their is no end to those aholes.

There's other good stuff.

LOL so you think the risk outweighs the benefit in a colonoscopy. Please site the data on rates of bowel perfs with routine screening colons. Also site the data on the likely hood of developing colon cancer with routine colonoscopies.

Sounds great but here's what they don't tell you. Simply removing a polyp does not get rid of the problem. Polyps form in the colon in damaged, inflamed areas of low circulation and/or heavy metals buildup. When bloodflow is reduced, polyps form as a type of swelling that happens in a typical wound. This swelling signals angiogenesis to help new blood vessels form to restore oxygen to the region to help with local tissue repair. Just like if you were to sprain an ankle, for example.
Do you see the catch? Their premise is flawed because polyps are actually tissue repair mechanisms that help compensate for local ischemia. See, when bloodflow is insufficient, heavy metals and other toxic materials accumulate in inflamed regions. (Metals accumulate in areas that don't detox sufficiently) Thus, polyps are the body's solution to potential cancer, not the cause, because they increase local oxygen and harbor/isolate any accumulated toxicity in their fibrous structure.
Feel duped yet? Don't worry - it gets worse. When doctors remove polyps, they often do not remove the whole base of the polyp, nor the entirety of its microenvironment, which is where most of the cancer stem cells and exosomes are. So it's common that cancer stem cells are left behind, which can then proliferate and invade local tissues. Likewise, exosomes can escape into the blood stream and translocate to other areas, which is typically how metastasis happens.
And since the removal of polyps creates a gaping hole in the gut lining, suddenly there's a giant, unnatural opening for food/waste, pathogenic bacteria, heavy metals and cancer-causing exosomes to escape into the bloodstream. And remember, this area was already inflamed and unable to repair itself naturally, so it's likely that repair mechanisms will struggle with repairing this new hole. If you've had multiple polyps removed, you'll now have multiple non-repaired holes in your gut, (aka open wounds) along with a mucus lining that is probably riddled with heavy metals, thus increasing damage and permeability even more

My wife had one a couple years ago. I guess the doctor accidentally scraped her colon on the way out. That night we had to return to the ER and they had to go in and stitch it up. What was supposed to be a 100% covered procedure turned into a $15,000 operation. Sure, insurance covered most, but still ended up with a $3000 bill after paying ER copay and deductable. These doctors do these procedures like an assembly line.
