When I had my first colonoscopy, it didn't go that well, and I said "I never want to do that again."
I also said: "... I'm glad I don't have to do it again for 10 years. I hope that by then there's some alternative."

I was giving up on that hope, until today:
New DNA test may provide non-invasive alternative for colon cancer screening - CBS News
It has a 10% false positive, but the only downside of that is a colonoscopy.
Does anyone know if that test is available now?
