The risks of complications from colonoscopies are greater than the risks of colon cancer for most people. Risks include perferations of the colon, death from anesthesia, vagus nerve stimulation causing heart stoppage requiring cpr to patient (surprisingly common), infection of virus and other things from the scopes which are used on usually ten or more patients on the day and must be hand cleaned by low paid assistants and cannot be heat sterilized because of sensitive electronics in the probes. So you get fecal matter and viruses and bacteria from others inserted deep into your colon.
Furthermore life expectancy is not better in people who have colonoscopies versus those that don't.
Most cancers caught by colonoscopies are already in spread stage or they wouldn't be visible.
Colonoscopies miss cancers because they hide in the folds and can't be seen.
Your doctor often won't tell you if they perforate your colon because they don't want to be sued. This you may have a punctured colon for months before going to a hospit.
Damage to the colon is the leading cause of deadly colon blockages later in life.
There is a shit in a box DNA test which catches as many cancers earlier than colonoscopies.
You probably won't die from colon cancer anyway as most people don't get it and it is a slow growing cancer like prostate cancer of you do get it.
If you do get colon cancer detected the treatments of colon removal and chemo are often what kill you earliest than if you didn't get standard treatment and those last years are miserable and full of nothing but visits and financially draining events ruining your weather if you do happen to live .
You are going to die. No one can escape that. Being constantly paranoid that you might die doesn't help you. Accept that one day you will die from something and don't spend your life in visits to doctors becuase you are trying to avoid death. It won't work.
