What happens if I get urine in the collection bin? Its kinda of difficult not to do. Women's opening are closer together than the collection kit allots for...
Glad to see science evolving. Cologuard uses DNA to detect 94% of stage 1 and 2 cancers while helping avoid a risky and invasive colonoscopy. Colonoscopy is not 100% perfect as it misses cancers and precancers and has risks due to the prep. cardiac events due to sedation and infection risks due to scopes that aren't sterile. Colonoscopy also results in a perforated bowel for about 1 in 500 patients. For these reasons colonoscopy should be (in my opinion) used only for diagnosis after a positive Cologuard test. After all, we use CT scans and X-rays before other surgeries.
But colonoscopy can remove any polyps right away. Also, if you do a Cologuard first and have a positive test, then you have to do colonoscopy anyway, and at that point, insurance will not pay for colonoscopy if you previously did a Cologuard test. Yes, colonoscopy sucks, but it is better in some ways compared to Cologuard.
@@omgbygollywow yes, but over 80% of Cologuard user's do not test positive. Also, after May 31st of this year follow up colonoscopy reimbursement will be mandatory. Soon,. Cologuard user's will have absolutely nothing to lose and face no risk of complications while screening for a disease or polyps that they very likely do not have.
@@carlpahnke8992 They say that Cologuard will not detect precancerous polyps, but Colonoscopy will and they can remove that immediately during the Colonoscopy. That might be the biggest and most important thing, because you don't want to let it get to the point of turning into cancer. Colonoscopy is still the gold standard.
@@omgbygollywow actually cologuard does detect polyps. It detects 69% of SSL polyps (the one's most likely to turn into cancer and most difficult to detect via colonoscopy). Also, should cologuard miss cancer or polyps you're due back in 3 years and have another chance to catch it before turning to late stage. Should issues be missed via colonoscopy and you're deemed "clean" you'll not be due back for 10 years giving cancer more time to advance to later stages. Studies show colonoscopy misses an average of 5% of cancer ( as high as 11% dr dependant).
I just completed mine today. I was also confused and called the customer service and believe it or not the lady on the phone was amazing and very informative. I like how the guy in the video was reading the instructions while on the bowl. I did the same thing. Forget about the people that have to deliver it through the mail I’m working Searne about the person that has to open it up in the lab.
I took the box to a U.P.S. drop off location; the box clearly has arrows that show you're supposed to handle it right-side up, the counter person took the box, put it on its side to scan it, then tossed it into a bin on the floor 🤣🤣🤣
No one talks about what happens if you have to pee same time, cuz it CAN happen!!! I felt like I needed to (for me, both usually comes same time), but luckily it didn't happen, thank goodness because it would take a really special skill to hold it while the other stuff comes out!!!!! 😁
That is interesting , every RU-vid video I look to find how to use something , in the first minute of that video my main question is answered...here I needed to know how to open the box without damaging it(should be sent to Cologuard again) ...here at 0:24 easily I see that
Just know that your Dr. maybe giving your phone number & email address to Cologuard & they will be calling, texting, emailing you all kinds of crap (pun intended). If I knew they were getting all this info about me, I would have done the colonoscopy.
Mine will just be pure liquid no solids. They're going to open up the test kit and be like wtf! Also just curious...so women can't just poop and not pee? Poop in the bucket pull it out and then pee into the toilet.
I'm not sure women are going to find this product useful. You cannot get urine into the sample at all, and when you're trying to pass a stool, even a tiny bit will contaminate it. Sorry for the TMI. Should be great for guys though.
I’m a 6’4”, 265lb man, all muscle. Just from this video, I can tell the container will NOT be large enough. My usual constitution is over a foot long. Sorry for TMI, but that dinky little turd in the video is 1/3 the size of mine. Is there an extra large kit available? Doesn’t look one size fits all to me.
UH, IM UH NOT GOING TO LIE......UH, THE FACT IS I .......COVER CHILDRENS EYES......MISSED! YEP, MISSED THE BUCKET ......NOT KIDDING.....AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS MISSED?.....'FOLKS' I MISSED BAD, 'COLO' GOT REAL MESSED UP.....BAD IT WAS BAD......NOW YOU KNOW.
This was perfect except in the US I wanted to check for shipping. The difference in how its communicated was disheartening, in that it reflects what idiots we are that we needed such child-friendly (childish) instructions. Regardless, both visuals were more helpful than the printed instructions/illustrations. Thank you.
Seriously you can't do this in the lab similar to a urine sample? instead you have to send your s*** through the mail. delivery people do not get paid enough!
I'm just imagining someone taking the ultimate dump of their life that basically fills the container with the most vile stinking turdy diarrhea and the people at the Cologuard lab opening it up.
So, we’re all watching this video because a Doctor ordered it for us to do. Dude, seriously WHY are you watching it since clearly you know nothing about it??? Weirdo.
I can't do this. NO way, no how. Disgusting. I could do everything except the scraping. Used to be you'd go to the Doctors, maybe get a blood test order and leave. Even in the olden days the Doctors office would draw the blood and send it in. Now, I go in and get all kinds of things I have to do, running all over the place, taking time off work, wasting gas, after the Provider spends maybe 10 minutes with me getting hundreds for just sitting on the computer going down a list, then moves on and forgets about me as they were never really "present" in the first place. We should be able to go to the Docs, "go" in a tub and give it to them, and done. Today, Doctors, well, "Providers" lower level and less educated, P.A.'s now don't really do anything except go down a list on the computer and move on to the next exam room where no exam takes place and it could have been done on a phone call.
Cologuard, IMHO... is a total FRAUD. They say they test 11 different "bio-markers"... and for blood. Two stool samples are sent in... two different containers... yet... the ONLY result they will give is either "positive"... or "negative"... additionally, they say that the FDA has not given any guidelines as to the "bio-markers" and what would indicate a positive or negative result... I called Cologuard and asked them to send me the results in raw form... the "bio-markers" and the blood test results... they refused. I asked them why, if they, in fact, actually did the tests... why they could not print out the results and mail them to me and my Gastroenterologist... they had no answer. I think this may be a criminal SCAM... preying on people who are concerned about colon cancer and are trying to avoid a colonoscopy... it is a DISGRACE.
@@resistor8735 And you shouldn't. IMO, Cologuard is a total CON-JOB. Much better to do an at-home FIT test, around $20 vs the $700 Colo-ripoff... and more reliable, as there is no underlying "agenda" for positive results to feed the Gastro-Doc colonoscopy game ($3000+ each)...
