I had to have an EMR, to remove a 40mm size polyp, and had to go to Sydney for it. 900 dollars accommodation , there for 3 days, last day, was supposed to come in for med check, before they let me drive, I took off 6am that morning , stuff the med check, for 8 hour drive home in lot of pain, was not allowed to eat solids for a further 48 hours, starving the whole way home, so up until 2 years ago, was having a colonoscopy every six months for 5 years, even though the polyps were only pre-cancerous. The big polyp they removed was benign. Have decided just to do the test the GOV> send out every year now. not going to do the other again if I can help it. It is the most disgusting and most uncomfortable test ever to do.
