Normally by 50 they say do it but he was 54. So he had a day of milk of magnesia type stuff to drink (something they told him to get at the drugstore, it takes like lemon but it acts like super prune juice) but honestly he couldn't do the enema so he didn't LOL. Then they did the test and it was very quick. He was a bit groggy still and I sat on the SAFE side of the bed. The doc came in and flashed a photo of a tumor at me and said they'd operate within a week. Which they did and he was in the hospital about 5 days until he could pass gas and solids and that was it except for recovery at home. He had no chemo as it hadn't spread and the oncologist said a colonoscopy every year would suffice. I admit I was a bit frazzled that the general doc hadn't advised him to get this test before, at age 50. So it behooves anyone who hasn't gotten one to push for it!!! I don't know the rates for younger people but often wonder if it is something lacking in the modern diet or what? I've heard lack of Vitamin D contributes to colon cancer so I wonder if more people who live in Northern climes are subject to this disease. I went to the other blog and that is very sad. I hope she recovers. FYI too Witchy my mom had breast cancer and a lumpectomy and some radiation and she is fine now too. I think most lumps are benign and watch the caffeine, that's what my sister's doc told her was causing hers.

Yes, I remember about your husband. I don't remember what caused him to seek medical advice. Or was it during a regular scope that they found the cancer? MarieM: So glad to see you here!

Thank goodness it had not spread and they got it all. He is due for his check-up colonoscopy soon. Afterward he was all over his relatives and friends to get the test done. They also did a big ad campaign here for it too (they being the state). My friend had the butt thing similar to what you describe and it was a form of benign polyp, which he had to have surgically removed and now he's not in pain anymore. Hopefully that is what you have something simple. I am pretty good about the pap smears. Yeah my husband had colon cancer last year, as you might remember, Witchy.
