People should be made more aware that this is one of the CURABLE Cancers as long as you detect and treat it EARLY.
The dreaded "prep" (the worst part of it) is the PitA FASTING ... going off solid food for a day.. and drinking large glasses of clear fluid until you're SQUEEKEY CLEAN!
The Scoping itself is painless...and watching over the doctor's shoulder is A TRIP!

During my procedure, I was out. Didn't know a thing. But being a photographer, I asked for and received pictures. I offered to show them to my family, but my brother said he had seen enough A**holes
Oh my last one came out squeaky clean also

I understand most men opt to sleep through the procedure, I imagine it's easier all the way around, since the big difference is all comes down to managing to stay RELAXED.
The more relaxed the better as far as the doctor's concerned.
Woman generally have an easier time relaxing, being that we're by and large more used to being poked and prodded.
(I can hardly wait to read what DLC is going to do with that last sentence... I seem to have left myself wide-open... )

Ironic that men seem to get put out for the procedure. An endoscope down the throat is a far more uncomfortable procedure because of the gag reflex. In Japan they don't put you out for either, they just give you something to relax you a bit, and then only if you ask for it.
