––– by Tom Hawrylko ––– The worst part is the prep. Since I just turned 50 and I had a bout with cancer a few years back, I thought it was good idea to get a colonoscopy. The procedure itself, done by Dr. Steven Gronowitz at Premier Endoscopy on Brighton Rd. was quick—I was in and out of there in less than two hours. No discomfort, no pain whatsover. The hard part is the day before. You have to fast and at the same time drink a few pints of a coloncleaning cocktail. It was fast acting and somewhat violent. That meant spending lots of time near a bathroom, preferably one in a quiet corner of your home. Other than that, it was easy. So go get it done, because most colorectal cancer arise from polyps, which can be detected and removed during this procedure. By the way, Dr. Gronowitz said I was clean, no polyps, a perfect ... patient.
