My wife is 69 y/o and just had a colonoscopy with excellent results. Her surgeon told her that colonoscopies are not needed after age 70. This was news to me. Has anyone heard anything similar? Thanks.
And Kathy - your Dr should recommend a colonoscopy prep. If you haven't done it before it's not pleasant - but colonoscopies are the gold standard for identifying any existing problems, and eliminating future problems via benign polyp removal.
All the best to you.
