A home test will not remove a polyp. They will do it in a colonoscopy. Polyps
can be benign or cancerous. Just seeing them doesn't tell which they are. Having them removed and biopsied is safest path, IMO.

I heard it wasn’t recommended until age 50? I looked into it too.

That's true as long as there is no family history.

I didn't get mine till 50, but our family had history of colon cancer, so I should have done it sooner. Even though

My brother (many on here know him as TAI from the early days of CB and the other variants) just finished his last round

I remember Tai. Will be thinking about him and praying for his recovery.

If you are willing to do it every year then yes. Colonoscopy is best.

My doc prescribed GoLyghtly for my prep. Stuff tastes so nasty. I am going to request the Gatorade/Miralax combo next
