I refuse to get a colonoscopy because I saw my husband go through hell with the prep (violent vomiting). They did the procedure, but couldn't go all the way so he had to redo it all. Also, he never felt the same afterward. I also am nervous about being put under (never had this done and I have low blood pressure).
Hope this is a thing!

It is good news. The prep is horrible. Big Blue Marble Mar 14 #4

$895? Really? Mrs GoS and I both received the test kits for free. GoneOffShore Mar 14 #2

It won't eliminate colonoscopies, and like most diagnostics I doubt a negative result means all is well. JohnSJ Mar 14 #5
