Summary: Cancer sucks. Even after 10 years cancer free this disease is still in my head with every little ache, pain and bump I feel. Fortunately we have good screening mechanisms for many cancer types, including rectal and colorectal cancers. In this episode I share some tips on preparing for one of those screening tools, the colonoscopy. "Between the Slides 5" for this episode: * Consult your Primary Care Physician, or find one * Plan ahead for the week of the procedure * Preparation day is horrible * Dress warm the day of and chill * Rest the evening after and the next day In this episode is helpful to anyone considering or already scheduled for a colonoscopy. Find it before it finds you.
