Also a fecal test may be helpful if you don't have hemorrhoids (which could confuse the test results by showing blood). Still got to do the prep, but done at home. If positive, would need to go for a colonoscopy.

I did one of those fecal tests a short while ago. A short while? More like months ago. It may have even been last year––and by "last year," I mean 2023. Funny about time … 🙂 What I am sure of was the results: normal (no blood). Of course, I may be asked to do one again. ––Ray
