Colonoscopy

I'm age 60, stage 4b (metastatic to my spine). I do still get colonoscopies.

My dad died of colon cancer at age 70. If my cancer drugs keep on keeping me alive (as they've been doing for 4½ years so far), I don't want to beat prostate cancer only to go through what he went through.

Good call!

toeknee, if you haven't had a colonoscopy in a while, if you had polyps located after your last colonoscopy, you might want to have a colonoscopy before radiation or surgery. Because radiation can affect the colon, you'll want to wait a while after treatment before having a colonoscopy.

Good information.
