Did not find the screening tests uncomfortable. Drinking the gallon of liquid was terrible however and made me sick and threw up almost all of it. My primary care doctor was initially hesitant to screen or follow up, but I basically begged for the screening test knowing early detection is key in preventing fatalities. They did find a polyp or two and did remove them. It s just good to know that as of last time we checked, there is no sign of cancer.
Peace of mind is a valuable thing too.
Not much is said or done about colorectal cancer yet needs to be more. Fecal Occult Blood Test, Double-Contrast Barium Enema and a Colonoscopy. Found Barium Enema screening test uncomfortable. Health care provider talked about colorectal cancer after I instigated the conversation. At this time I was not aware my father had colon cancer.
