The great poo test?
Just interested in how many have done it?
Got mine back today - when I told my wife my faecal occult blood test was negative, SWMBO asked if they found anything else because surely what I do in the privy has to have something wrong with it!

Yep, did mine last year. Fortunately a negative result as well. For me it was an "in-between" test. I lost my mother to bowel cancer in 96, so because of the family history I have been having regular 'slightly more invasive' tests over the years. Not pleasant but much better than the alternative.

PS Bob - does your wife believe that occult implies strange rituals?

Had mine done and it came back negative. Then a few month later they wrote and told me that some tests were defective so I did it again and still negative. Just as well as one type of cancer is enough for me.

Yep.
I've always called it my "Paint by Numbers" kit, although the newer method isn't quite the same.

Yeah, just got my results back in the last week or so, negative as far as they can tell. Should do a more complete check up, for that and the usual male problems...

Fingers & toes. I was very dexterous in my early days.

The whole idea of crapping on a piece of plastic and posting it turned me off big time, so I threw it all in the bin.

The colon cam is not a problem, since you are unconscious when it is done. The stuff you have to drink to clean out your gut in preparation is nasty, but much better than the alternative - my mother had colon cancer. However, the disease, which is entirely preventable, so long as you get the polyps cut out before they turn cancerous, can well be lethal, if it is allowed to progress.
Cutting out the polyps, if any are found is done at the same time as the colonoscopy, and there is no post-operative pain - I have had five benign polyps removed so far, and go back every couple of years for a check up.
