Again, the second dr. was a little concerned on why I wanted it so bad because of my age and my mom's diagnosis but after arguing and trying to prove my point he made a call to the GI and they said it was okay. Hopefully, I get a good G.I. specialist!
Why is it so hard to get a colonoscopy in your 30's?? So, July I will get one done and I'm a little nervous but oh well. Prayers !
