Thanks for the post. I'll probably go ahead and have the colonosopy. The peace of mind knowing is worth it, especially since I plan on living another 5 years into my 90's.

One hint: push hard for Pico Salax (little powder packets) instead of Peg-Lyte (big jug) for the colonoscopy prep —play your cancer card for sympathy if you have to.

Many clinics try to steer you away from Pico Salax because the patient has to remember to drink enough liquid on their own instead of having it all in one big, disgusting jug, but my prep with Pico was at least 10× less unpleasant than Peg-Lyte, and the results were just as good for a clear colonoscopy result.
