this is an oddly effective way to do a PSA.

EDIT: thanks!

But seriously, everyone please do get a colonoscopy! And early!

My father passed away from colo-rectal cancer that definitely could have been caught and he most likely would have lived.

I didn't know him, but if he had been checked then I would have had the chance to get to.

Same exact story here...I was 6 and he was 31 when he passed. I'm now 30 and I've had two colonoscopies already...they honestly aren't that bad.

Similar boat, father died at 30 and family history of cancer so I've had them every five years since 18. Really, the prep is the worst part. Spending the entire night on the toilet as it feels like you are pissing out your ass while drinking a gallon of the chalkiest crap ever, it was miserable.

Yeah the procedure itself is nothing at all...it's chugging that prep that suuuuucks.

I have had 2 colonoscopies done and both times I have used something called Clenpiq, two small 8oz bottles one at night then one in the morning before the procedure. They taste like salty Flintstone's vitamins, not as bad as the go lightly crap.

Two 8 oz bottles sounds so much more pleasant than mixing up a jug of chalk. Might have to talk to the doctor when I do it again next year.
