Reply #7: VA sent my 85 yr old Dad w/lung cancer, heart failure a letter to have colonoscopy done

[wishlist]

I found letter VA had sent to my Dad urging him to have colonoscopy screening when the last thing in the world my Dad needed in the year before his death was the ordeal of a colonoscopy. He had no bowel problems but he did have such poor eyesight and COPD that running to the bathroom during the necessary cleaning out process for a colonoscopy would have been impossible. He kept the letter but of course did not get the test done.
