Dear MaryJo,
I think your very wise to have the colonoscopy test. That should be part
of everyone's health maintenance program. The test its self is not the horror that everyone says it is...the prep for the test is more of a bother.
I suggest that you eat light for two days prior to your prep. It will be
much easier as you get ready the day prior to the test.

I had the colonoscopy test right after my dx. and sure enough there was
two small benign (thank the Lord) polyps - which were easily removed.
No pain during or after. Now since my bc dx. and the polyps I have to
have a colonoscopy every three yrs. instead of five.

I am of the thought I would rather check and if anything catch it early.
I am more concerned about not knowing!

I will keep you in my prayers that your test goes smoothly and all is
well. Keep the faith my dear sister.

Big Hugs,
Jean
