No, I am not being paid for getting a colonoscopy. That’s already scheduled. I’m getting paid for the clinical trial.

@rebelann My gastroenterologist started the whole thing. I received a call last Friday from the hospital asking if I would like to participate. They sent me things to read online and on mychart. Thank goodness I knew the building to go to. Yale is so huge and spread out. That worried me the most. lol

That sounds like the kit my doctor gave me a couple of weeks ago. Only I didn't get the $175.

Using the kit was easy... just somewhat disgusting.

@DianneN If I have to look in the toilet bowl before flushing, it's disgusting... Have fun with your kit.

I know that kit and it is disgusting. This is a new kit and a lot less disgusting, but disgusting nonetheless.

I have the Covid test on Tuesday. Hubs went for one, too, and they told him they don't have to shove the swab way up into the nostrils anymore. It was a breeze for him. Watch! They'll change the rules for me when I go.

I refuse to have a fourth colonoscopy, ever. It's the worst test created, I will never go through it again. Your grandson is always having a good time, he enjoys doing fun things.

@DianneN When my sister visited Finland, they would sit in a Sauna. Then, run out and jump into the icy water! I guess this was beneficial to their skin.

because of my health history and risk factors I was able to do Cologard, which sounds a lot like theitem you are doing in the trial. I did not, however, get paid. It is already on the market.

Great photo. So you took a test like Cologuard. I had one this year. Usually clinical trials pay much more; but for what you had to do that's a great payment. I will take another Cologuard in 3 years and hopefully won't have to have another colonoscopy in my lifetime. Good luck with yours.
