Had my first scope five years ago and they took out three polyps. Later testing showed they were pre-cancerous. Had I not had it done, I'd be fighting cancer today. Instead, I'm going in for another CScope tomorrow. My entire family died of this stuff. Now, I can lick it and die of something else. Don’t know how old these posts are, but I’m a believer.

Apparently the polyp he removed was pre-cancerous. So I'll need to do this again in 3-5 years. If I had let this go, it would have become a cancer. Thank God for this screening procedure. All the more reason you Boomers need to be getting this done. Just got a call from the surgeon’s office. Apparently the polyp he removed was pre-cancerous. So I’ll need to do this again in 3-5 years.

No polyps found although I was bleeding from inner piles. No cancer but must eat more fruit & fiber. Life goes on for this 72 year old man :-) Been there and done that at VA hospital in New York City! No polyps found although I was bleeding from inner piles.

That's a big benefit of having the procedure done in a small country hospital. The hospital's new resident surgeon, Dr. Craig Swafford, performed the procedure and found a single polyp, which he removed and sent for testing. Chances are excellent that the results will be negative. It was painless as I slept through the procedure. No pain at all now and very little gas. If you're over 50 you need to do this. It's so simple and effective. I’m back home after just over 2 hours at the hospital. That’s a big benefit of having the procedure done in a small country hospital.
