About this episode
<p>Come check out my butt with me (again)! 1 in 16 people in the U.S. will have colon cancer, and 0 in 16 want to talk about getting a camera up your guts to check things out. I am one of them, but after losing loved ones to colon cancer – and staring down the barrel of my first-ever colonoscope — I recorded tips, tricks, taste tests, foggy drug hazes, bar room advice, and finally my surprising results. It may save a life. Possibly yours. </p> <p>Find out more about colorectal cancer <a href="https://www.cancer.gov/types/colorectal" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/colonoscopy" rel="noopener noreferrer">More episode sources and links</a></p> <p>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/coloproctology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Coloproctology (COLON CANCER + BUTT FUN)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/gluteology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gluteology (BUTTS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/scatology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Scatology (POOP)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/radiology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Radiology (X-RAY VISION)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/surgerymystery" rel="noopener noreferrer">FIELD TRIP: Alie’s Mystery Surgery</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/venereology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Venereology (SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/urology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Urology (CROTCH PARTS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/gynecology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gynecology (NETHER HEALTH)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/phallology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Phallology (PENISES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/sexology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sexology (SEX)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/microbiology-gut-biome" rel="noopener noreferrer">Microbiology (GUT BIOME)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/nephrology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nephrology (KIDNEYS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/surgical-oncology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Surgical Oncology (BREAST CANCER)</a><br><br><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies-by-topic" rel="noopener noreferrer">400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topic</a></p> <p><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248" rel="noopener noreferrer">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a></p> <p><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sponsors of Ologies</a></p> <p><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras" rel="noopener noreferrer">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies" rel="noopener noreferrer">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month</p> <p><a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!</p> <p>Follow Ologies on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ologies.bsky.social" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bluesky</a></p> <p>Follow Alie Ward on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alie_ologies" rel="noopener noreferrer">TikTok</a></p> <p>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Maitland Audio Productions</a>, <a href="https://www.jarrettsleeper.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jarrett Sleeper</a> of <a href="https://www.mindjammedia.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MindJam Media</a> and Mark David Christenson</p> <p>Managing Director: Susan Hale</p> <p>Scheduling Producer: Noel Dilworth</p> <p>Transcripts by Aveline Malek</p> <p>Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kelly R.
