  • Terrible advice. Screening prolongs lives much more than you think. Got a history of family polyps? Which a lot do, get screened. Those will turn cancerous. Wife is an RN at a GI clinic. They see it day in and out.

    But no, go ahead and just bury your head in the sand so you don’t have to go through 1 night of shitting your brains out to find out they removed the polyp(s) that would have turned into cancer in 5 years and resulted in only having to remove some intestine, if you’re lucky. Just 1 example of why it’s important to do it. And, if you react well to anesthesia, propofol is one hell of a great nap.

    What are the risks to be screened? Super freaking low.
