Field Trip: My Butt, a Colonoscopy Ride Along & How-To Encore

About this episode

Alie Ward shares her personal experience with colonoscopy and discusses the importance of colon cancer awareness.

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.
