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.
