Good move.
I've never had a colonoscopy either - yet.

Sorry, Mike and Mods, move this if you like ... BUT, this matters.
Hamish, I get one every five years, have done since I was 60 ... doctor's (and wife's) orders. Colorectal cancer is easy to detect and easy to treat IF caught early enough. Ditto for skin cancer, by the way; I speak from (happy, so far) expetience, too.
A colonoscophy is the easiest and surest way to detect colon cancer, or (touch wood he says tapping his head) to prove that you're clear ... as I have been thus far. All men over 60 needd to get the test; it's simple, quick, and painless, albeit a wee tiny bit undignified.
I lost my first wife to cancer ... no one wants to wish that experience on their spouse, trust me. Get the damned test, guys. And gals, you get your tests, too, for the most common and easily detected cancers. Please, friends, don't make your spouses go through what I did. :'(
