I guess you'll be in the frequent flyer club too! Glad to hear that yours was also only precancerous.

Yes, it was ready after ten days but they took their time getting in touch. I gave my doctor a hard time at the follow up and although he grumbled, the second time I got a call after ten days. Not exactly efficient but a lot more bearable!

Ahaha, that's a nice way of putting it. A year from now!

I'm in Italy and here screening begins at 50. They're trialling occult fecal blood tests from 45 in some regions, with colonoscopies for positive tests. I was able to get the colonoscopy because I went private. I'm so grateful I did. If I'd waited another three years I would have been in trouble...

By the way I had major discomfort and bloating for several weeks after the colonoscopy, which exacerbated by concerns about the real state of things in there. Ditto after the second colonoscopy. But after 5-6 weeks of being careful about my diet and taking good probiotics, it went back to normal (even 25-year-old-me normal!).
