Ty, watched your video, did everything you said to do, got home after taking it to ups and desided to read the paper work.. That's when I found the 2 labels that I was supposed to fill out and put on the tube and container.. Now I have to do it all again after waiting for a new kit to get here, so you really need to add the part about the labels to the video.
Very good video. I did mine recently, I was a little reluctant at first but the whole process is really pretty simple. I was glad to get a negative result.
A lot of people do this cuz they think it's a replacement for getting a colonoscopy it's not your doctor's going to tell you you still need a colonoscopy.
But you forgot to mention filling out two of the name tag labels, and a fixing them one to the larger receptacle and one to the test tube. I can’t imagine you forgot to mention that. Other than that, you have the best video on how to use Cologuard. So thank you.
So glad you made this video. Men there is a gap so you can keep your urine relatively separate. And for those of us who are delusional, the gap is big enough. Don't forget to label your samples! 1 copy on tube, 1 on collection container.
Thank you! This was extremely easy to understand and made everything absolutely clear as far as collection, return,and exactly how the entire process is done 💯 Im gonna share this video with family and friends immediately!!❤️ Thanks again
My Cologuard experience: My doctor recommended this for me since I'm low-risk for colon cancer. Mine came back POSITIVE. So, that meant I HAD to have a colonoscopy anyway. BUT, my insurance had paid for the Cologuard as my SCREENING test. My colonoscopy then was considered DIAGNOSTIC, so I had to pay for that. Everything was fine and nothing at all was found, not even a polyp. The thing is, I don't believe this test is entirely accurate and I would be afraid to put any faith in even a negative result. If I had a false positive, then anyone could have a false negative. There is no substitute for a colonoscopy where the doctor can actually see what's going on in there.
I talked to my Dr. about this before agreeing to Cologuard. I was told it used to be done that way, but not anymore. If the Cologuard comes back positive, the follow up colonscopy can also be billed to insurance as screening; however, if they find anything, they would remove it and it would no longer be billed as screening. Dr. also informed me if you did the colonscopy without Cologuard and they found anything, they would remove it, and then it also would not be billed as screening.
@bpace2509 I guess the bottom line is that people need to check with their insurance companies before any of this so they don't get sticker shock like I did. I'm due again this summer so I'm going straight to the colonoscopy. The Su-Prep prescribed now isn't really that bad. It's expensive tho but I found a GoodRX coupon and got it at CVS for $45 instead of $100+ at WM. Also, the anesthesia used gets out of the system fairly quickly. My hub just had it done, then we went to breakfast after and then shopping with no problem.
It was very easy to use, it is a little time consuming but, if I ever have do it again. I would use Cologuard. Much better than having to drink that horrible stuff beforehand
Helpful. My first time doing this. Didnt mention the labels though. That part to me seems like the most bothersome part. Its pretty simple if the toughest part is writing out and putting on labels. Lol
From reading the directions you're supposed to scrape the outside of the poop I don't know if it matters but I think we scraped the outside because the cells from the wall of the colon will be on the outside of the poop
What happen sometimes pops come out with little blood because of hard stools in areas tissue breakdown? Is this result positive or negative because of blood? Other questions is if stools is big, is okay or make a half?
I just posted a comment but I'll quickly tell you my experience. I had a Cologuard test. It came back positive so I had to have a colonoscopy anyway. BUT my insur pd for the Cologuard as my screening. The colonoscopy was then considered diagnostic so I had to pay for that. Nothiing was found, not even a polyp. If I can have a false positive, then anyone can have a false negative. My advice: skip the Cologuard and get a colonoscopy. Even if you have a non-cancerous polyp, it needs to be removed in case it turns to cancer over time.
I just got a positive result on my colorguard test so I had a colonoscopy which turned out negative. My gastroenterologist who has had 40 years experience, vehemently denounces using colorguard. He says that he sees this type of thing all the time. I will not use colorguard again.
The issue is, if your tumor isn’t bleeding, it won’t be detected that way. It’s best to have a colonoscopy. A bleeding tumor is still cancer, you want to catch it when it’s still a polyp or in its early stages.
I wasn't expecting this box & already opened the box incorrectly. I had no idea what it was or no one indicating to me that this was going to be delivered to my home address. 🤔
Every time I see the commercials for this I giggle because make no mistake you're still getting a colonoscopy you can do cologuard if you want but as soon as your doctor looks at the results he's going to tell you you need colonoscopy, might as well do that just skip this. I think a lot of people think that this is an option to getting a colonoscopy well it's really not.
It's only a problem if they detect blood in your stool or there's something that would give them a reason to *recommend* a colonoscopy. It's always your choice. I'm doing Cologuard because colonoscopies are invasive and risky. This eliminates going through the procedure, *unless you have to* . They need to find something wrong with you in order to suggest you get a "full" colonoscopy. If your Cologuard comes back negative and you're being pushed to get a colonoscopy, *anyway* , you're wasting your time, and lining BigPharma and BigMedicine's pockets (not to mention putting yourself at risk) for an *unnecessary* procedure.🤷♀️ However, if you have a history of polyps or colon cancer, then it's always recommended to have a "complete" colonoscopy. Cologuard is more for people with a low risk or for those who have never had any issues detected with prior colonoscopies.
I was given a colonoscopy for screening because of my age. I had no digestive symptoms. Two months later, I almost died. Needed emergency surgery. Turns out, they perforated my colon. So much for an invasive procedure for screening.
I feel like a lot of people arent going to get their test results back after watching this video. You never included the important part of filling out the labels
Nope the biggest problem is getting the sample💩on the sample tester in a good way for testing I’m on my second testing because of this not as easy as the instructions say
Thank goodness someone took the time to make this video. It’s much appreciated.
Right?!?
So much easier than the included instructions.
Except the missing part about adding labels
@@daphne201239 Yes. That was the one part that was missing.
@@kristismart4065 What do I do with the big container that has my stuff in it if I’m sending back the tiny vile
Im so grateful for video Thank you sir I would not open the box until i knew what to do
LMAO I've been sitting here looking at this box for 3 weeks

I was thinking about the labels (only because I watched another video about it last week). Very important part.
What about reading ???😂❤
Don’t you know how to read the instructions ni66a
Thanks for this quick and easy video. I just did mine and mailed it off to UPS. 5 stars for this easy to follow video!
Very good video. I did mine recently, I was a little reluctant at first but the whole process is really pretty simple. I was glad to get a negative result.
Just got my first test kit and this video answered all the questions to answers before I open, Thanks
I was about to throw my kit away as I am admittedly horrible at reading directions so thanks so much for the video
Handling this in the kitchen is a good idea, said no one ever.
Yep… I’m just going to put this bucket of poop right up on my counter, and swab it.
I’m sure it’ll be fine.
A lot of people do this cuz they think it's a replacement for getting a colonoscopy it's not your doctor's going to tell you you still need a colonoscopy.
Wrong. As long as the report comes back clear, no actual colonoscopy will be necessary.
I noticed that too - maybe the garage where you change the oil ? Lol. Kitchen table ? Gross.
My kitchen smells divine now :D

The best video so far😊❤ thanks
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video for us. God Bless you, Dr.
Very clear and easy to follow. Thanks much.
Thank you, this answered the question in my mind. Much better than the printed instructions. 🙏
Thank you for the video. This all seemed quite intimidating at first glance.
Finally . This video makes it much easier than instructions. Thank you .
Thank you so much. Please keep help informing people like me😅
Just finished preparing my sample. That was fun, I had a great time doing it.
Thanks, I haven't read over the instructions & had 2 go quickly & ur video helped me with all I needed. Thanks🎉
I hate reading instructions thank you so much for the video I’m going to do this in the morning and drive it to UPS thanks
So much easier than the directions. Thank you!!

Thank you, this video was very helpful.Made the whole process easy

Thanks so much for the informative information. 😊
I loved the video, very helpful, thank you
Thank you for this I was stressed out looking at the box
Very short and helpful video . Thank you .😅
Thank you so much sir !!!!❤
I took a colon cancer home test kit but had an envelope confusion and mistakenly sent it to my electric co instead of my bill payment.
You dropped this. 🏆
😂
🙌🏾😆
😂😂😂
Here’s what I think about your electric bill 😂
They need to provide a link to this from the company and pay you. Thanks for the video!
You missed the return label on the top of the box but thanks for putting this video together. Also, a person needs to fill out the paperwork.
Thanks so much this video helped me out
Great now everyone in the UPS line will know I'm holding a box of sh1t. Box should have been more discreet jeez
They can pick it up at your door. Just call Exact Sciences to arrange the pick up.
Lol
Dude. I laughed to tears on your comment. Thought the same thing
Haha, yeah, the employees at the UPS store were pretty good about it. I’m sure they put on their latex gloves as soon as I left.
😂
Well done and thank you!
And here I was thinking you poop in the box! 😂
Helpful. My first time doing this. Didnt mention the labels though. That part to me seems like the most bothersome part. Its pretty simple if the toughest part is writing out and putting on labels. Lol
How do you people function on a daily basis? 😂 Read the instructions that come with the Cologuard hit.
What about the ID . This is the most important thing when you testing blood or whatever is....?
Thank you so much!
Thank you
I have to do this soon. 😢 I'm gonna drop it off at my local Cvs because they have a UPS pick up.
If I’m sending back the tiny sample, what do I do with the big plastic container with all the stuff in it?
From reading the directions you're supposed to scrape the outside of the poop I don't know if it matters but I think we scraped the outside because the cells from the wall of the colon will be on the outside of the poop

Should i still get my colonoscopy if it comes back negative?

Gracias muy explicado 😊😊
The next hardest part is in the ups store line trying not to be embarrassed that your holding a box full of yesterdays goods 😂
What IF the box with stool isn't delivered within the 4 days to Colo Guard?
It appears no one is replying to any comments.
Then if you delivered you have reorder a test kit it cost about 500.00
Remember to add the 2 enclosed labels on the returning container and vile.
TKS VERY HELPFUL!
Thanks 😊
Way more preferable to doing a colonoscopy. Or as my 90 year old dad calls it a 'colonostomy'. Fortnate to be low risk.
Very helpful!!

Big sigh of relief from this novice. Scared to death to even start. God bless whoever thought of this.
very helpful!
What if your sample gets damaged during delivery or at the laboratory?
Be sure to fill outbthe labels time and date of the sample so Colorguard can notify UPS for pick up.
The ring doorbell sound was unnecessary - thanks for making my dogs go crazy.
I wasn't expecting this box & already opened the box incorrectly. I had no idea what it was or no one indicating to me that this was going to be delivered to my home address. 🤔
Sent mines back with vomit mixed. The small sample probe got me man. Lol
Fantastic, except for the omission of the putting on of the labels before you mail everything back.
I cut my box thinking it was my Temu order😮 Can I tape it up?
how many drops of liquid you put in your stool from that little bottle?
Don't add liquid to vial at all
Very good!!
Can u do this if you hv a softer stool, but not diarrhea…?
Be sure to write down the date and time as well before you call Colorguard to have it picked up
