Update from my colonoscopy yesterday: Procedure went smoothly! The prep wasnāt bad - pro tip: a clear liquid diet the day before (eg broth, apple juice, clear Jell-O) makes it much easier. And butt wipes (trust me).
Found one polyp, which was removed. Awaiting biopsy results, but thatās exactly why we screen: early detection saves lives.
DYK: Colonoscopies canā¬ļø colorectal cancer risk by 69% and deaths bu 88% by catching and removing precancerous polyps early!
If youāre 45 , talk to your doctor about screening. Donāt wait - peace of mind is worth it!
