The colonoscopy is painless these days. The damn prep is the hard part.
And you've got to walk that lonely valley by yourself.

Damn, I'm coming up on this stuff soon. My doctor told me a year or so ago, that I'd be starting to get regular prostate exams now that I'm past 35 years old.. and sure enough i have a doc appt. August 22nd.
But the positive is.. I can give these fingers a break!
I’m 41 and my doc said I’m still good for a few years. You sure your Guy isn’t a little too eager?
45 for colonoscopy and 55 for prostrate is pretty standard.
You guys are getting off easy. My grandfather died from prostate cancer in his early 60s.

Seriously....
Back during September, 2012, I began puking uncontrollably. Barfed with such intensity, my appendix burst. 3 surgeries and 36 hours later, I required a resection to remove part of my colon. Stage 2b cancer. If I'm not mistaken, another poster here. grannygreensleeves, ended up dying from colon cancer.
Please get checked.

Yo if you get a colonoscopy these days and it hurts you better call a lawyer. That weren’t no colonoscopy.
Amen. My dad (age 87) is a 16-year colon cancer survivor thanks to a timely colonoscopy. Like you, he had a portion of his colon removed.
1 kidney stone but gall stones like a maracas.
In those days, pre-opioid epidemic, they gave me a shot of morphine and sent me home to pass the kidney stone. I was fortunate, the morphine hadn't worn off by the time I passed the stone. Only the one. We had a neighbor who had so many so often I think he had a scrip for vicodin. Pre-opioid epidemic rules. I'm terrified that they let you sweat it out now. (Maybe they don't. Knock wood: I've only had the one.)
The gall stones gave me heartburn like a heart attack. For awhile they tried to control things with diet, but eventually it had to come out.
