Having watched my brother die a slow, painful horrible death due to what started out as an upset stomach, I highly recommend getting a 'scope done. His doctor wouldn't push the issue, and simply kept stepping up the antacids and stomach remedies. When he finally did send my brother in for a 'scope, they found some issues. He then went in to have it laproscopically removed and they discovered it had spread beyond the colonic wall. At that point he had colon, lung, pancreas, kidney and liver cancer. That was on Christmas eve. He died less than 2 years later. I now have to go every 5 years, which is fine with me.
I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
