- I get that, but as long as they are checking you aren't going to end up with advanced colon cancer. - Bacon Aug 8, 19:23 5
  - Hope so. Found out recently that an aunt has it. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 8, 19:25 4
    - I was just reading about it again. Two increased risk factors are smoking and drinking. You don't do either. That's good! -- nm - Bacon Aug 8, 19:29 3
      - I have a suspicion that a new risk factor will come out soon. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 8, 19:44 2
        
        Admiration of Boats is a risk factor -- nm - Bacon Aug 8, 19:57 1

- Ah, oof. I hate the prep. But I am glad you are taking care of it. -- nm - Bacon Aug 8, 19:20 5
  - The first time the prep was worse than the procedure. The second time, I'm still not sure which was worse. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 8, 19:21 4
    - I was knocked out for mine. You weren't? -- nm - Bacon Aug 8, 19:23 3
      - Conscious, mostly. The drugs were intended to keep me awake. Fentanyl and something else. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 8, 19:48 2
        
        It was a rough trip. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 8, 19:49 1
        
        Yikes! I had one at the age of 6 or 7 that I was awake for. Don't remember much other than getting to look at the screen. -- nm - Bacon Aug 8, 19:57
