My Dr recommended that I get one now, at 40, as opposed to the usual 50 since I have a family history of colon cancer. I was extremely nervous never having undergone this before, and not gonna lie, the last 2 days have not been fun. Yesterday I couldn't eat solid foods and had to drink a disgusting concoction that cleaned out my bowels and caused me to be on the toilet for most of the evening. Then this morning I had to get driven to a medical facility where a doctor basically shoved a miniature camera up my ass.

But you know what, it was worth it. As my gastroenterologist told me, colorectal cancer is eminently preventable with regular screenings if it's caught early. So if you need to a 'scopy and are afraid/nervous trust me once it's over you'll be glad. Think of what happened to poor Chadwick Boseman. Getting a colonoscopy could very well save your life.
