Members responded reassuringly to the question about having a colonoscopy after a multiple myeloma diagnosis, with the overwhelming majority reporting no complications from the procedure itself. Several members shared that polyps were found and safely removed, and a few noted that alternative options like Cologuard were recommended for those with prep allergies. A recurring theme was managing digestive side effects from Revlimid, with members suggesting remedies like the BRAT diet, colesevelam, probiotics, turmeric tea, and ginger mint tea while encouraging everyone to stay current with routine cancer screenings.
