at what age should you stop having colonoscopies if you have no symptoms of bowel trouble? . my 80 year old mother has dementia and i hate to put her through the prep for the test even though her father died during surgery to remove part of the colon because of cancer 50 years ago.
when you die. keep on having those wonderful tests. it saves lives. i know of one person that had a colonoscopy and it saved his life. by the time you think you are having some problems it could be too late. i am every five years now. grin and bear it!
