Getting a Colonoscopy in Thailand -- An Expensive Pain in the Butt?

Membership site now open: http://retirecheap.tv/members We all have heard that after you reach 50 you should start to get a colonoscopy to reduce the chances of geeting colon cancer.

The American Cancer Society believes that preventing colorectal cancer (and not just finding it early) should be a major reason for getting tested. Finding and removing polyps keeps some people from getting colorectal cancer. Tests that have the best chance of finding both polyps and cancer are preferred if these tests are available to you and you are willing to have them.
Beginning at age 50, both men and women at average risk for developing colorectal cancer should use one of the screening tests below:
Tests that find polyps and cancer
• Flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years
• Colonoscopy every 10 years
• Double-contrast barium enema every 5 years
• CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) every 5 years

Benign polyps can be easily removed during colonoscopy and are not life-threatening. If benign polyps are not removed from the large intestine, they can become malignant (cancerous) over time. Most of the cancers of the large intestine are believed to have developed from polyps.
So if you are living in Thailand what are you going to experience? Is getting a colonoscopy an expensive pain in the butt or what? Watch and see.

JC's Day Trip to Chang Dao, Thailand

There is lots of cool stuff just around the corner.  Let's see what things and who we can find by taking a day and getting outside the city. Come with me for a day trip to a place called Chang Dao which is about 30 miles outside of Chiang Mai and see what we run into along the way.

Thailand Costs of Medical and Dental Procedures

Membership site now open: http://retirecheap.tv/members  Most Westerners have shelved the idea of getting medical work done unless they are wheeled into an Emergency room. Unless someone has insurance, that's not many now, they just forgo the procedure and suffer the consequences.  But if you live in a place like Thailand or want to live there you can get some major medical procedures done without giving up an arm and a leg in the process. And if you are wondering whether a life in Southeast Asia is a good retirement plan, coming over for a surgery or butt lift will save so much money that the trip becomes a free bonus. Check out these prices.
