I'm an every two year test person due to family history and having an IBD

I've had a bunch of polyps and all have been ok. Even though I hate the process of finding them, I'm thankful that they've all been found early. Getting ready for colonoscopy No. 6 in 1.5 months, and I'm only 55. My dad passed away from colon cancer, my brother has Crohn's and I also have Crohn's. There was no way I wasn't going to be tested regularly. Good luck!!!!

Polyps. Wait 2 weeks on biopsy. Lovely ** -- HokieJamie 12/18/2020 08:29AM

Waiting is tough. My first scope in 13 revealed a stage 3 tumor -- budztheman 12/18/2020 12:59PM

Much better to find as polyps to take care of them and prevent worse -- fsghokie 12/18/2020 11:03AM

Fingers crossed. Hope it turns out ok. ** -- RoswellGAHokie 12/18/2020 10:31AM

Well, that's the point of doing a colonoscopy, you did the right thing. -- `lag 12/18/2020 09:49AM

So much for my clean badges ** -- `lag 12/18/2020 3:15PM

Good advice to all... ** -- VaTaz 12/18/2020 10:33AM

Hang in there - I will likely be in that boat in January ... -- vt90 12/18/2020 09:29AM

Hoping for good news. How bad was the prep? -- bluehokie 12/18/2020 09:22AM

They have a relatively new prep out now that just requires two mixtures -- Nortazhokie 12/18/2020 12:20PM

Weigh yourself before and after for fun. ** -- RhinoVT 12/18/2020 09:39AM

Wishing you good luck on those results Jamie. ** -- Hokie360 12/18/2020 09:14AM

Sucks. Hope you get the all clear -- VT Pops 12/18/2020 08:59AM
