| 5/5/2011 | Thank you for your question! You could ask your doc about a colonoscopy under general anesthesia in the OR, if you were medically cleared. It's just as important to have your screening colonoscopy as it is to have your mammogram, so don't let it 'slide'. Talk with your doc as to the best way to keep you comfortable so that colonoscopy can be completed. Thank you for all you do to keep our program so benefical to all! Best wishes. | ||
