CBS is having a sweepstakes for a free colonoscopy. Has anyone else seen or heard about this? Sharon and ozzy osbourne are the spokespeople for it. Would you enter?

No, bc I really don't want one, lol! However, ift would be a great idea for anyone having issues or people that are older and don't ave insurance. I believe doctors recommend them for everyone now at age 50. My mom is supposed to haev a routine one and keeps puttnig off the appointment. I'm not positive, but I think taht without insurance, they aren't cheap, so this could be a lifesver (literally) for some.

Hahaha I saw that.

And my insurance sends me off to get one every 2 years, even at 27, so applying would be totally useless.

I wouldnt personally put in for a free colonoscopy. However, for one I have really good insurance. An I am not of age to be checked. However, those with history(Family or personal) would be a good idea. It can and will save your life. 

My husbands dad died of prostate cancer in 08. It could have been prevented if he would of been checked. Colonoscopies are not as invasive as people make them out to be. They are normally quick with minimal pain if any really.

With my family history, if I didn't have insurance and was over 35, I would. I wouldn't be looking forward to it, but I want to live a long healthy life
