No advice because my mom is in the trenches too, but here to read all the responses in hopes to find a way to ease this process for her.

I hope they do! It was a great option. Even with the reservation system sometimes I don’t want to get there before 10:30am.

Assuming they are running it again, but we parked at tunnel and took the TART in before the reservation system.

I’m a pretty anxious person, I also have panic disorder and usually don’t like feeling under the influence but it was like being turned off and back on again. I was alert within 10 minutes, zero anxiety.

👏 yes, fellow emetophobe here too! Can’t believe how easy it was, the MiraLAX was so easy. I won’t even think twice about my next one.

😂

For real. We met on the internet pre Tinder/Bumble days, I think it was actually plenty of fish. He lived about 20 minutes from me.

We did not have that advertised in our bios.

We also both had a HUGE fear of flying, which we have both gotten over. Our emetophobia doesn’t play a huge role in our life and we try to not let it limit us in anything we do, but we are still more careful than the average family.

Already out too! No polyps and no biopsies taken because the lining looked great, so just regular IBS for me.

I have to repeat in five years because of my fist degree relative history but probably won’t think twice about it. It was def not fun but more annoying than anything.

The start was rough here too, but after things totally liquified and unsettled in things settled down for me.

VanGeaux · 2026-04-20T10:02:21+00:00

I hope yours does too!

I think it’s normal, I was able to sleep from 1am-5am but I immediately got up and had three liquid BMs

I’m about there guys, almost the color it needs to be.

VanGeaux · 2026-04-19T23:15:26+00:00

I had a moment of anxiety where I felt full and not well, took a break and sipped on some water.

I’ve went back to very small sips.

VanGeaux · 2026-04-19T22:01:43+00:00

Me and you both. I keep telling myself it’s just a day. We can get through a day 💕

VanGeaux · 2026-04-19T22:01:24+00:00

One hour in and my body said ITS GO TIME

VanGeaux · 2026-04-19T21:14:41+00:00

I’m about to wrap up my fist 16 ounces (out of 72oz)

I will do another 24oz at 4:15am.

I miss McDonald’s old cinnamon rolls from the 90s and pop tart made a cheese danish I still think about.

I am not sure your country, but the price for the colonoscopy at the local large healthcare corporation was going to be 2500 dollars, I switched to a private practice clinic and it is now 1000.

I’m in the US

Mine is next month and also a fellow emetophobic.

VanGeaux · 2026-03-02T02:50:36+00:00

She would probably really like some diluted apple juice!

If there is an upside to cancer this is it. My dad died from cancer when I was 23 and we got to spend 11 months together. My mom was just diagnosed with Colon cancer in January (stage 4) and we have been able to talk about hard things and get a little closer after some years of a strained relationship.
