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.

Godspeed,
