The guy who was my bowling teacher died from colon cancer at 63yrs old, I was 49 at that time, his death convinced me to get scoped at 50. Bobby was a Good person. We bowled on a league together. If you could see the unnecessary loss, getting scoped is easier to do.

My last scope experience was the easiest. The pre-cleaning meds were as gentle as it could be. Very gentle compared to all the previous ones. A morning appointment is best because of the pre-cleaning timing. The drug Propofol is widely used today, so your post recovery time is much faster.

Getting scoped today is by far the best its ever been, don't be afraid, save yourself.
