My understanding is that the colonoscopy is the "gold standard" in colon screening. The other tests are better than nothing for people who absolutely won't get a colonoscopy. Also, maybe I'm not understanding all of this thread correctly, but a colonoscopy does not involve any "cutting" unless they find and remove a polyp during the procedure.

Usually, with regular anesthesia, I wake up all groggy and just want to go home and go to bed. |
