ColonSentry blood test


So I got a Mother's Day gift, some pretty tubes of hand cream in various flavours for my mom this year. I paid an extra 50 cents for the wrapping which will be donated to an environmental cause.


And when I was at the lab the other day doing some tests, I noticed this ColonSentry blood test that is now being offered for testing colon cancer. Based on the results, you can decide if you actually need to undergo a colonoscopy.

Good idea with the test, doesn't hurt and gives a good feeling! Better safe than sorry! Valerie

Never heard of hand cream having different flavors. Nice! Never heard of that blood test, either.

Great ideas! I'm glad I'm done with colonoscopies for 10 years. Gosh! I haven't even thought about Mother's Day.

Your gift for your mother looks pretty, Christine.

The ColonSentry blood test is a great idea and it could save lives.

I like the idea of the blood test. Way better than a colonoscopy if you can avoid it.

I have an idea for you... here's a beautiful poem that would go perfectly with your Mother's Day gift... "Mother's Hands"

I had to chuckle; the first thing I thought of was someone giving one of those blood tests to their mother. THAT would be a rude present!
