I had my semi-annual physical this morning and asked my doctor. He said he didn't know enough about it to recommend it and he wasn't sure if it had full approval among the medical community, for what it's worth. I do the mail in sample. He said that any of method screening for colon cancer after the age of 75 isn't recommended if there are no physical symptoms such as bleeding and that my next Cologuard could be my last. I imagine it's one of those things that could change as they learn more. He said the gold standard is still the colonoscopy and that the risk of intestinal perforation is low.

IL, do you know how often the blood test is recommended? Something to keep in mind to ask the doctor about later.
