As you wander through Back Bay, come answer our prompt of the day before you get food and drink!

This was a foolish idea that i came up with that no one on my committee has expertise/experience in 💀

If I didn't think it was a brilliant idea I wouldn't do it but I'm convinced it's necessary!

😂😂 I’ll just have to wait for my people to show up here!

Yeah maybe posting about a colonoscopy isn’t the way to go viral?? 🤣

Not that I would want that level of engagement… too much pressure!

Well not a LOT but the few posts I’ve made have almost no interaction. But maybe I need to post more to get on peoples radars and live with the no interaction for a bit? I can’t tell.

I have a lot of followers (I assume from SER starter pack) but very little engagement in my posts

This will be my eighth colonoscopy. It never gets easier but I always try to keep in mind that this is to prevent cancer, and that helps a tiny bit.

Hit me up if you ever need any tips or tricks for getting through your colonoscopy prep day! Thanks for tuning in

So even though my risk of colon cancer remains high, the chances of catching it early is also high! I also get an upper endoscopy every three years to make sure everything leading into the colon looks okay.

By getting a colonoscopy every year (or as I like to call it, an annual cleanse), my doctors can detect polyps in my colon before they have the chance to turn into cancer and can detect signs of cancer early

Women with Lynch syndrome have between a 40% and 60% risk of developing colon cancer and it is likely that this will happen before the age of 50. Scary, right?

Well, luckily for me, colonoscopies exist!
