If anyone has second thoughts about getting one please please get it done.
I almost put it off too long. When I finally had it done the doctor discovered a blockage ( on a Friday)that required surgery to remove. The surgeon could not operate until I had a barium enima(sp?) done the next Wednesday to see how much colon he needed to remove. That next Monday the surgery was done. Yes it was cancer but the surgeon thinks he got it all. To be on the safe side a cancer doctor recommend chemo for 2 months. That was like 4 years ago and a couple of scans since then and all is good. But been back to Aruba every year so please gets yours done if you want to enjoy cold Amtel Bright Beer on the great Aruban beaches like I do. Since I saw 3 different doctors in 11 days and the operation was done on the 11th day I am very happy with my present health insurance. Just hope Congress does not screw it up.
