Okay.. so I have breast cancer...but right now believe it or not I'm not even thinking about it... why?? My stomach is twisted in knots... feel sick....Would you believe my doctor decided that he felt I should have a colonoscopy...I personally feel his timing sucks... as I chug this nasty stuff they've given me in order to spend my night back and forth to the bathroom......UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So... enjoy the chuckle... it's on me this time!!

    He is one sick and twisted
    He is one sick and twisted man!!!! Geez as if you don't have enough on your plate!
    That stuff is awful isn't it? I hope they gave you pico salex instead of (Fleet) sodium phosphate, it's much easier on the system.

    Well you can look at this way, at least you will have the freedom to fart whenever and wherever you want afterward. I know its gross, but at least you get to spend the day freaking the family out with a little harmless rudeness, and if you have kids they will laugh the hineys off. My four and five year old grandson thought it was hilarious.
    Take care

    ah yes...many of us here have been "ready for our close-up" for the Booty Cam! The saving grace in all of it is~ Think of what the Dr has to look at All Day Long, and how his parents felt when he announced his specialty at the Thanksgiving dinner table!

    All in ones viewpoint~ literally!

    I was just recovering from rectal cancer...
    When I started treatment for breast cancer....

    Yeah, that prep is a killer!!!! At one point, I had the prep once a week, for 6 weeks straight!!! I now laugh whenever I see the 'colon cleanse' commercial...I must have the cleanest colon in town!!!!

    Hope everything is great and you have many years of colon health!!!

    Hugs, Kathi

    Oh my word,
    Once a week for 6 weeks?!! And I thought the prep for that one time was bad! And again in 4 more years!

    Yup...they didn't know how to treat....
    so they kept doing tests that involved a total cleanout...lol....

    BUT, I'm alive, well, and CANCER FREE, so it was well worth it!!!

    I have had one per year since end of treatment, and I just 'graduated' to 5 years this time....WOW! Just like a grown up girl!! ROFL!

    Hugs, Kathi

    BTW, everyone, post on the colorectal board when you are facing one of these scopes....my 'other' family is very wise and have many, many tips for weathering this test!

    Sure hope your colonoscopy went...
    as well as can be expected when they are messin' with your hiney!
    I had one last month. Boy, I love the IV drugs they give you! I just woke up happy and clueless!

    Take care,

    Did they tell you the tube
    Did they tell you the tube up the butt comes with a warranty. If you had the full work up, its 10 years.
