It defies logic that there are pounds and pounds of fecal matter stuck in your colon. I think that's an idea that someone selling a colon cleanse wants you to buy. There are others who agree with me. http://www.lisabarger.com/colon_cleansing_scams.htm
Nothing wrong with getting a good "flow" going every once in a while, though!

Mine's in January. Let me know how it goes. I think the part that I dread the most is only having fluids the day before! My doc makes everyone get one when they turn 50. Somehow she caught up with me since I keep putting it off.
Mammograms are no big deal. I too have family history and have gotten them yearly since my mom died of breast cancer when I was 36. Every time I go and get one, though, I just can't imagine having that job!
I just thought of something, before you leave weigh yourself! I know that if I lost a quick few pounds it would make the day brighter.Last edited by uforgot; 12-09-2007 at 05:05 AM.

I'm on the clear liquids now. I don't start drinking the yummy stuff until 6 p.m. I have my tv table set up in the bathroom. I expect y'all to entertain me.
Until 6 p.m. I'm just going to stay busy. I've heard that you don't get that hungry because you are so focused and then once all the fun starts, there's no time to think about eating.

When I had my first (and so far, only) colonoscopy, they gave me a full-color photo of the inside of my colon. Pretty interesting, depending on your perspective
. Not exactly like a an ultrasound of a fetus, that you 'd display on the fridge, but sort of like a little prize for going through it all (or having it all go through you??? )

FWIW, I am glad you're doing this. My sister's best friend from childhood (and still to this day, as they both settled in LA as adults) was diagnosed with colon cancer several months ago after months of other diagnosed illness, with a very difficult prognosis. It was not "expected" in her family.
She's 38.
Take care of yourself...

I know someone else who had colon cancer at a very young age--32. Her youngest child was a baby. But she's very healthy now.
My grandmother died of colon cancer and my FIL is a survivor of it x 13 years now. Good that it's caught early.
Re mammograms--no big deal. Dreading it was worse than the actual squeeze.
