@thumperguy I can see that for those with low risk of colon cancer, flexible sigmoidoscopy is probably a good choice. With my family history, though, I would rather go through colonoscopy so the doctor can see the entire colon rather than just the lower portion of it. https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/flexible-sigmoidoscopy/about/pac-20394189

Being as free of anxiety as possible going forward is certainly worth plenty and colonoscopy is the gold standard for achieving that. Don

Yes check the whole colon for sure
