Ah yes... I have a return trip for the television camera and swiss army knive mounted on a long stalk and... (let's skip that!) booked in a couple of weeks.

Actually for anyone who is wary of this procedure it is no big deal... just a bit embarassing. Definitely the delightful preparation stage is the worst. I would say for anyone over 50 or who has has any bleeding you should consider asking your doctor to refer you for the procedure. It's usually a five-yearly check unless you have "previous" and generally and "in and out in a half day" outpatient thing. The possible consequences of not doing so are much worse and anything potentially nasty can be caught while it is still highly treatable. Oh yes, and as Peace says, don't forget the prostate jobbie every year chappies.
