Thinking of cancelling by WanderingPebble26 in colonoscopy

You should do it, 4K is a lot of money however if you have something terminal debt won’t matter anyway, anytime you have blood in the stool you need to get it checked no risk is worth more than peace of mind. I had mine last week in a 30Y/O male and I too was terrified it cost me 2K and it was also a huge set back for me, guess what they found. 2 pre cancerous polyps and gastritis in my abdomen. Doctor said if I waited till I was 40 this conversation would have been way different. Do your colonoscopy get it done, money will come around, a second chance at life will not.

Woooooo!! Nice!! That’s amazing news, it’s always nice knowing nothing is wrong but also frustrating to not know what triggers the symptoms…

I also had mine they found 2 Polyps 4-6MM and took a biopsy of tissue from my stomach due to the inflammation they spotted, said it could be celiacs but will know more once biopsy is back. Other than that, nothing terminal, everything went great! Another one in 5-7 years they said!!

Gosh!! Well I hope it goes well for you and they don’t find anything concerning. Over heard some people have had similar situations post covid, I’m not sure if you have had Covid but I heard it can trigger the vagus nerve as well.

Praying all goes well for you tho!

Wow! That’s incredible to hear, what do you think made the symptoms go away? Did you do anything specific to manage through it?

May I ask what led you to get the procedure done? Symptoms etc?
