Cologuard ?

[ginger]

My PCP agreed I could try Cologuard instead of a colonoscopy as my last colonoscopy was clear with no family history. My initial thought, was - COOL... no prep.....However, after 2 attempts Cologuard states they cannot get a good enough reading for a clear answer. I will talk with my PCP next week when I have an appt, but I am wondering do I give up and give in to colonoscopy ? Is this due to our anatomy now ?

I had recent rotator cuff surgery and there is no way I could do a colonoscopy for awhile.... but I am looking for input.

Has anyone had success with Cologuard ? They have offered to send a THIRD box .....
Thanks for any input

I'm considering it...
My last screening moved me from the high risk due to family history to normal risk. Since I will see the same gastro, he may agree.

Let me know how it works (or doesn't).
