Soda City Live: Party like it’s the 70′s for your colon prep

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) -It’s Colon Cancer Awareness Month - a time to schedule your colonoscopy. There’s a group of doctors and advocates in Columbia who turn the prep you have to drink ahead of your colonoscopy into a party by gathering patients together in a festive environment - always with a theme. This year, they held a 70′s party since it’s time for those born in the 1970′s to have their colonoscopies.

Dr. Raj Vasudeva is a gastroenterologist with Consultants in Gastroenterology. Bhavna Vasudeva is an advocate for many health causes in our state. Dr. Delicia Robinson is a pathologist with the Colorectal Cancer Prevention Network. She just underwent a colonoscopy - especially important after finding out she’s considered at-risk. And Annie Thibault is the executive director of the Colorectal Cancer Prevention Network. She recently went to the White House on the subject.
