Great news!
I had one a couple of months back and was dreading it, more because of what they might find (my mum died of colon cancer at 64 and I'm 55) - they gave me fentanyl, and although I do remember one painful bit where they say 'we're turning a corner', it was like remembering a snippet of a dream, and it actually wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be (apart from getting rhinitis from the nasal canular). That Movieprep stuff they give you to clean your bowels was fooking brutal though. I had one the night before, then had to get up at 6am and have another one - grim pi%%ing out yer arse.
They found two inflamed diverticuli and also removed four polyps - very interesting to watch on the screen, as they use a little lasso that chops em off - but none of this was suspect, and I got the all-clear. Massive relief.
