This link via FARK shows that there are innovations being done to make the colonoscopy obsolete. I’m very glad to know this. Now that mom is a colon cancer patient, that means that I am at risk. Therefore I’ll have to start screening myself earlier than most. The normal age to start getting regular colonoscopies is 50 years old. Under the current system, I’ll have to start at 40.
Hopefully by then I’ll be able to swallow a pill sized camera and only worry about the colonoscopy if they find something. Anyway, check out the link. It’s very interesting.
