I read here (on Hacker News) that the stool test is actually really valuable and cheap enough to pay out of pocket prior to trying to justify an out-of-schedule colonoscopy.

Is it at home ones or ones that you send sample to get sequenced?

Not to mention the prepare for a colonoscopy is not pleasant.

And colonoscopies are invasive procedures that have their own risks. Perforated bowel can turn this "routine" procedure into an emergency.

Gentle reminder for Australian folks here, you can get a bowel screening test kit for free, if you're between 45 - 74 years of age.
