Family history and higher risks
Has everyone everyone ever had a cologuard?
My doctor recommended I have one due to family history and over 50.
Will get results within a week.
Hope you all are fine tonight.

Amy, have you had a colonoscopy before? The preparation is not fun, but it can deal with suspected early cancers.

I found out that I will be needing surgery following my colonoscopy.
I will more than likely need time in rehab following surgery.
My doctor recommended I will be in a nursing home with dementia care.
