I have a family history of cancer, so I have had one done. The prep, I just did what they prescribed. It is awful tasting but it cleans you out for sure. When you get there they simply give you an injection which makes you drowsy and impairs your memory. You absolutely cannot drive after the procedure because you are definitely in a fog, which is why they insist you have a driver attend. You simply lie on your back and doze off, and you come around in less than an hour. The Doc will burn off any polyps which is painless. The whole procedure in uneventful, you go home and crash for 3 hours and you are fine. You won't take a shit for a couple days because there is nothing in your system.

I have been told by more than one person, those that do their own homegrown prep does not clean our your pipes 100%, making the test much less effective simply because there is still shit in the system and the polyps which drive cancer are blocked from view. I am not sure why anyone would not simply take what is prescribed. Why go through the procedure at all if you still have 10% of shit in your system which could make one polyp go unnoticed. Seems like a waste of time; Steve Jobs did his own cancer treatment for like a year and it killed him long term.

Colon cancer is the easiest cancer to prevent, but outside of pancreatic and brain cancer the toughest to treat. I have friends for whatever reason refuse to get a colonoscopy, usually saying they don't want anything up their ass. You never feel a thing and never remember the actual insertion. Anyone that does not get a colonoscopy over the age of 45, and certainly 50 is a first grade idiot. LOL and not wanting anything up your ass as a reason not to get the test, if you get colon cancer you likely will end up dead or with a bag attached to your hip for life.
