My mother's father died of colon cancer so she does her check up and makes dad go as well. My mother had one about a month ago, I got out of the house during the preparation process. I did take her to the doc though...she had about 4-5 polyps removed, none too bad. The doc was telling me that, because of having to remove so many, she couldn't have solids that day either...she was waking up from anethesia and heard the part about the food...she was not happy. My dad has a colonoscopy tomorrow. I mentioned in another thread (i think) that my mom uses a peri bottle to clean afterwards so that she doesn't get so irritated from wiping...good idea I think. Some doc's might give one to you when you sign up for the treatment, but you could probably ask for one or find an alternative. Its just a bottle basically, a spray bottle might even work.
