It's a routine exam and I'm not expecting any problems.With the ability to control colon cancer, everyone should consider a colonoscopy at the proper age your doctor chooses.  They use general anesthesia and you don't feel a thing. An ounce of prevention is worth a lot of piece of mind. And it could save your life. Just like prostate exams..... they ain't fun, but they work.TIP:  While waiting for the prep to work, don't sit in a comfy chair that's hard to get out of in a hurry.</blockquote>
