Hello, @vic83

Thank you! This is precisely the sort of advice I'm looking for. I had my last colonoscopy six years ago when a polyp was found and dealt with. The doctor advised returning in five years, but then sepsis intervened. That's why it's now six years. I'll be sure to meet with someone knowledgeable and who'll carefully review my history. My caution, which some might think a bit overwrought, is the result of conversations with various specialists who have been forthcoming enough to say they've only a limited understanding of sepsis's after-the-fact symptoms and the risk of reinfection.

Cheers!
