I wonder if it would also reduce how often you'd need a colonoscopy,too. That would motivate the insurers to cover it!

Soup, sorry I don't know how to make it "clickable". I just now did a copy / paste on my link and it worked for me. I believe NoTime knows how to do the clickable so hopefully she will come along soon to help!

MA - I agree with you. That was one of my first hopes was that it would minimize the dreaded colonoscopies for us. Tongue Out

Good morning all! 

I'm posting this one because it has suggestions on some additional screening that could be useful. I'm not currently getting screened except the every 2 year colonoscopy so this is a bit concerning to me..... 

I hope you all have a great week.

Love and Hugs,

Cindi

ps - CMB, if you have time could you please make this one clickable too? Wink
