Reviving this old thread to note that my GP is sending me a Cologuard kit at my request. I’m trying to catch up on routine medical stuff that I’ve put off during the pandemic, and it has been ten years since my first colonoscopy. Time to try Cologuard!

I just watched the video on how to collect the specimens, and I’m not looking forward to digging around in my own poop. Also, how do you poop a certain amount and no more into that bucket? I’ve no way of portioning it out as I do it.

But it still beats doing the two-day colonoscopy thing, not to mention finding someone to take a day off to drive you to and from the gastroenterologist.
