Re: Colonoscopy question

I've had 3 years and now 5 years.  I have mine next week.  Last time no polyps, but Dr. still kept me at 5, not back to 10.  Your doctor should decide.  

Good luck.  Sadly, Sometimes I don't think they keep good records.  Two years ago, they said I was overdue.  I said my five years is 2026.  I tried to get an appt in December.  No way I was taking a 2 pm appt. - the day after Christmas yet.  I've waited 7 months to get an early morning appt.  I scheduled this March colonoscopy last August.  Crazy.

3 years. If no polyps then, it went to 5 years.

 

I have 2 brothers and 2 grandparents who had colon cancer. I'm rabid about having my colonoscopies every 5 years.
