Re: Colonoscopy on Thursday
I read some doctors stop recommending them after the age of 75-80. More risks associated with the procedure for the elderly. For those in this group, done on a case-by-case basis. My mother had colon cancer so for me it is recommended every 5 years. Mine is due next year. Also, just found out in my recent GYN appointment that PAP smears also are not done routinely for women over 65 if they have had negative test results.
