We do have a family history, so S1 has had to have yearly colonoscopies since turning 20 (S2 will follow soon). Good thing, too: adenomatous polyps were detected in his second colonoscopy. This was while he was on COBRA and we paid out of pocket for the test.
Some of my siblings left it too late. No excuse: they were in France where they could have the test done and subsequent treatment for free. They just were too scared of what the test would reveal. Sometimes, I remain angry at them, as they left behind small children who went through difficult periods.
So the test prep is unpleasant. I have being having one every year for nearly 20 years. Big shrug.
