Good morning!!!!

Has anyone inquired about the new test that started in 2014 called Cologuard. It's non-invasive and no special prep diet and catches the cancer the same effective rate as a colonoscopy.

My doctor has used similar test, after manual prostate check, for many years. He told me that colonoscopy is still needed. I’ve gotten one every 3-4 years since I turned 50.

Passed my colonoscopy, headed home to eat and sleep. My oldest sister died from colon cancer, so am on the watch list.

Eye doctor went well, New glasses ordered from Walmart. Might have to investigate getting a backup pair from one of those online places. Any suggestions for bifocals.

I was going to buy from Zenni. But was not able to get anyone on the phone to answer a couple of questions I had.
When I used their mirror measuring. I came up with 97 mm for eye spacing. SamsClub came up with 95 mm. Got Sams Club glasses yesterday. The fit sight a perfect. At Sams you get the top of line Zeiss lenses. At Walmart they have 2 levels of lenses. When I got mine last week plus members got 20% off everything.
I checked out America’s Best. Their prices where as good as the online places. Not sure they are in HI.

I had that test before I was 50. Doctor gave you the kit. But I am not in the low risk group anymore. Family history of colon cancer. Means that I get a colonoscopy every 5 years. In 2000 they found polyp/s. Non malignant. None have been found since. So I am on the 5 year cycle.
If you have never had a colonoscopy. I would get one. Then if nothing is found you are on a 5 year cycle.

PJ, that is downright nice. I hope you get to spend plenty of time in there for keeping your blood pressure low.

I don't know what to say about the rust. Surface rust like that can start from a scant amount of dew and then when put up with the lid closed, it just sits there.

I have a similar problem in the machine shop I manage. The company sometimes turns off the HVAC over the weekend and Monday AM will have 75% humidity in the shop...I have so much rusty equipment and tooling now, it is pathetic. I try to keep up with it, but WD 40 doesn't last very long as a protectant.

I had a computer hiccup and came back later and etc . . . double posted, otherwise I would be paying you money to read my future.

Ron, this is a different test, a DNA test not just a blood in stool test or a FIT test. It just came out a few years ago. My wife GP was telling her to take this test instead.

Web MD and other sites still urge you to get routine colonoscopy test as well.
