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.

@northoftheborder How long did you wait after radiation to get a colonoscopy? I'm due for one and am 21 months past radiation. Dr. Google says to wait a year but I'm kind of afraid of the colonoscopy scope doing damage.
