Awww, thank you!  I'm not worried, it's a routine check up that everyone should do every so often. If I were having anesthesia, THEN I would worry since I don't do well with it, so I prefer to avoid it and watch my innards with the doc. 
 @6de6309b I'm about twenty years on from Stage 3 colon cancer now. So I get concerned for folks. 😉

Oh my!  Thank you for the concern, and hopefully, it will be unwarranted. "They" tell you to get a colonoscopy every 10 years. Hogwash. My quirky gastroenterologist once told me that "in the biz," doctors, themselves, have one every 4-5 years, and that's my own policy now, too. 
 @6de6309b Sounds like a plan.
