New colon test.

Postby Reddhead » Sat May 23, 2009 8:12 pm

From the latest issue of Men's Health Magazine. A new colon test called chromoendoscopy dyes the colon wall before the test and Harvard scientists found that this method found pre-cancerous polyps in a third of people who had been cleared after a regular study. Not sure if it is available around here but it sure sounds important. Check it out and do get checked. I am currently in the excuse stage to be followed hopefully by making an appointment.

Fess up Red...........have you been scoped lately? You are due ya know. The wife is afraid and putting it off. The worst part is the night before when you live on the toilet after drinking the juice to clean you out. Totally painless and just tell the Doc to put a little extra juice in your I.V. so you go to sleep.

But did you bend over to pick up that bar of soap? When you feel 2 hands on your shoulders and something up your butt, you know something ain't right! :lol: :wink:
