But you forgot to mention filling out two of the name tag labels, and a fixing them one to the larger receptacle and one to the test tube. I can’t imagine you forgot to mention that. Other than that, you have the best video on how to use Cologuard. So thank you.
A lot of people do this cuz they think it's a replacement for getting a colonoscopy it's not your doctor's going to tell you you still need a colonoscopy.
My Cologuard experience: My doctor recommended this for me since I'm low-risk for colon cancer. Mine came back POSITIVE. So, that meant I HAD to have a colonoscopy anyway. BUT, my insurance had paid for the Cologuard as my SCREENING test. My colonoscopy then was considered DIAGNOSTIC, so I had to pay for that. Everything was fine and nothing at all was found, not even a polyp. The thing is, I don't believe this test is entirely accurate and I would be afraid to put any faith in even a negative result. If I had a false positive, then anyone could have a false negative. There is no substitute for a colonoscopy where the doctor can actually see what's going on in there.
I talked to my Dr. about this before agreeing to Cologuard. I was told it used to be done that way, but not anymore. If the Cologuard comes back positive, the follow up colonscopy can also be billed to insurance as screening; however, if they find anything, they would remove it and it would no longer be billed as screening. Dr. also informed me if you did the colonscopy without Cologuard and they found anything, they would remove it, and then it also would not be billed as screening.
@bpace2509 I guess the bottom line is that people need to check with their insurance companies before any of this so they don't get sticker shock like I did. I'm due again this summer so I'm going straight to the colonoscopy. The Su-Prep prescribed now isn't really that bad. It's expensive tho but I found a GoodRX coupon and got it at CVS for $45 instead of $100+ at WM. Also, the anesthesia used gets out of the system fairly quickly. My hub just had it done, then we went to breakfast after and then shopping with no problem.
Very good video. I did mine recently, I was a little reluctant at first but the whole process is really pretty simple. I was glad to get a negative result.
It was very easy to use, it is a little time consuming but, if I ever have do it again. I would use Cologuard. Much better than having to drink that horrible stuff beforehand
Helpful. My first time doing this. Didnt mention the labels though. That part to me seems like the most bothersome part. Its pretty simple if the toughest part is writing out and putting on labels. Lol
From reading the directions you're supposed to scrape the outside of the poop I don't know if it matters but I think we scraped the outside because the cells from the wall of the colon will be on the outside of the poop
The issue is, if your tumor isn’t bleeding, it won’t be detected that way. It’s best to have a colonoscopy. A bleeding tumor is still cancer, you want to catch it when it’s still a polyp or in its early stages.
I just posted a comment but I'll quickly tell you my experience. I had a Cologuard test. It came back positive so I had to have a colonoscopy anyway. BUT my insur pd for the Cologuard as my screening. The colonoscopy was then considered diagnostic so I had to pay for that. Nothiing was found, not even a polyp. If I can have a false positive, then anyone can have a false negative. My advice: skip the Cologuard and get a colonoscopy. Even if you have a non-cancerous polyp, it needs to be removed in case it turns to cancer over time.
Every time I see the commercials for this I giggle because make no mistake you're still getting a colonoscopy you can do cologuard if you want but as soon as your doctor looks at the results he's going to tell you you need colonoscopy, might as well do that just skip this. I think a lot of people think that this is an option to getting a colonoscopy well it's really not.
It's only a problem if they detect blood in your stool or there's something that would give them a reason to *recommend* a colonoscopy. It's always your choice. I'm doing Cologuard because colonoscopies are invasive and risky. This eliminates going through the procedure, *unless you have to* . They need to find something wrong with you in order to suggest you get a "full" colonoscopy. If your Cologuard comes back negative and you're being pushed to get a colonoscopy, *anyway* , you're wasting your time, and lining BigPharma and BigMedicine's pockets (not to mention putting yourself at risk) for an *unnecessary* procedure.🤷♀️ However, if you have a history of polyps or colon cancer, then it's always recommended to have a "complete" colonoscopy. Cologuard is more for people with a low risk or for those who have never had any issues detected with prior colonoscopies.
I was given a colonoscopy for screening because of my age. I had no digestive symptoms. Two months later, I almost died. Needed emergency surgery. Turns out, they perforated my colon. So much for an invasive procedure for screening.
You didn’t explane anything what u do with the battle has water looking like i will send back the box empty becousr they told me to watch you and u never make me understand what you want me to do with the bottle has water. I say a gain make i understanding
Given the amount of continuous gas I can have, I think it would blow my colon out of the top of my head. I don't think a colonoscopy would be a good option for me. I'm still unsure though how the box would reseal. I do think this is best left to Dr.s. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed on such things.

I can't believe that they are using the classic song ' My Way' for this commercial! Frank Sinatra signature song written by Paul Anka. How disgusting. Commercials are becoming a song and dance travesty.
Why would you not want a colonoscopy? Assuming you have the money for it - it’s the most complete way to tell if you have colon cancer. People are way too pressed on how invasive it is and don’t see the extreme benefits of having this procedure done.
Thank goodness someone took the time to make this video. It’s much appreciated.

Thank you so much for mentioning the labels. I might have overlooked this.
The poo emoji freakin' cracked me up! Well done!
Im so grateful for video Thank you sir I would not open the box until i knew what to do
Handling this in the kitchen is a good idea, said no one ever.
Yep… I’m just going to put this bucket of poop right up on my counter, and swab it.
I’m sure it’ll be fine.
A lot of people do this cuz they think it's a replacement for getting a colonoscopy it's not your doctor's going to tell you you still need a colonoscopy.
Wrong. As long as the report comes back clear, no actual colonoscopy will be necessary.
I noticed that too - maybe the garage where you change the oil ? Lol. Kitchen table ? Gross.
You’re hilarious! Made a serious and gross subject funny!
Thank you, this video was very helpful.Made the whole process easy
Very clear and easy to follow. Thanks much.

Exactly! Nothing is 'Affordable' anymore
Great now everyone in the UPS line will know I'm holding a box of sh1t. Box should have been more discreet jeez
They can pick it up at your door. Just call Exact Sciences to arrange the pick up.
Lol
Dude. I laughed to tears on your comment. Thought the same thing
Very good video. I did mine recently, I was a little reluctant at first but the whole process is really pretty simple. I was glad to get a negative result.
thanks i appreciate the video i have my kit and will do this tonight
I took a colon cancer home test kit but had an envelope confusion and mistakenly sent it to my electric co instead of my bill payment.

Very short and helpful video . Thank you .😅
Thank you! Very clear instructions. My issue is I live in the country. 😆 My doctor might need to change this option. 😂
They need to provide a link to this from the company and pay you. Thanks for the video!
Thanks so much this video helped me out

I'mma send my dog's stool sample... I'll keep ya posted!
What if your sample gets damaged during delivery or at the laboratory?
Sent mines back with vomit mixed. The small sample probe got me man. Lol
The issue is, if your tumor isn’t bleeding, it won’t be detected that way. It’s best to have a colonoscopy. A bleeding tumor is still cancer, you want to catch it when it’s still a polyp or in its early stages.

Way more preferable to doing a colonoscopy. Or as my 90 year old dad calls it a 'colonostomy'. Fortnate to be low risk.
I cut my box thinking it was my Temu order😮 Can I tape it up?
Should i still get my colonoscopy if it comes back negative?

How can he make this video without smirking
how many drops of liquid you put in your stool from that little bottle?
Don't add liquid to vial at all
I only came here to see the procedure on getting the return address on it. And no where to be explained. Incomplete instructional video.

Right so I have to pay UPS to come and pick it up. Don't think so!
no u don't

U did not tell how much poop ?
0:00 0:00
and most gastero doctors dont recommend this test due to false positives.
i think i'll just poo in the box and put it in the mail thanks
People should send this there ex
What does this screen ? Why not just get a colonoscopy .

It’s detecting DNA changes. You can easily do an internet search if you want to know more.

Incomplete, abbreviated instructions; e.g. doesn't say what days or the week you can give to UPS.

Maybe don't prep the poo in your kitchen, lol.
A talking box, I need to lay off the shrooms
🤣🤣😮😀💩says ''ow ow'' 🤣😂0:41
Dont collect on a Friday!! Or u will be doing it again.
So this lab is just receiving pallets of people’s poop and running computers all day to test it? I guess America is great again

$681.00

Doesn’t tell you we’re so it’s pretty useless. Still need to get hosed
It tells you a yes or no. If a yes, you will need way more than to get hosed. If no, no need to get hosed.
