Has everyone everyone ever had a cologuard?
My doctor recommended I have one due to family history and over 50.
Will get results within a week.
Hope you all are fine tonight.

Amy, have you had a colonoscopy before? The preparation is not fun, but it can deal with suspected early cancers.

Hi Iris, yeah this is first time I got instructions before test. I had a (DRE) several years ago not fun.
I have a family history of colon cancer.

Amy Joy, I will pray that your colonoscopy will be completed with no need for follow-up, with no cancer or pre-cancer or any other issues!

I found out that I will be needing surgery following my colonoscopy.
I will more than likely need time in rehab following surgery.
My doctor recommended I will be in a nursing home with dementia care.
