Hi: I forgot to mention that I just did the test through Q, that looks for blood in my sample and it came back negative.

You are looking for reasons not to do the test. It’s totally up to you but just imagine if you are diagnosed a few years from now with colon cancer that could have been detected with the colonoscopy. I would listen to the doctor. Discuss this with your doctor too. He may agree with you but I doubt it. This test has saved a heap of lives.

Here is a good link from the Mayo Clinic.

I've been through much worse tests. I agree with Sherrine, listen to you doctor. Colon cancer is preventable/curable. Why risk it. I had my last one this past year and because of my age and previous tests I don't have to have them any more. So it's not forever.

Warmly,
Chutz
