but .....It's been four years ago now, that I was informed that had a malignant tumor residing I my upper colon. That was profoundly life altering ten second sentence that my doctor uttered, one I wish on no living thing.
In truth it's been a very terrifying road to travel. One that I could have quite possibly avoided had I had a colonoscopy earlier in my life. No time,work,distractions,denial, all kinds of crap jumped in the way for me to avoid the procedure. It was easy to put it off. I mean who the hell wants "that" to be done to them.
Finally doing the dirty deed turns out to have saved my life. Put it in a huge tailspin for a bit, but I'm on this side of the dirt and grateful every waking second for the second chance. I had the procedure done last week and the results came back clear. so far so good.
Don't be stupid or vain...get it done... like now!... if not sooner

Good to hear it Harry. I'm up for it in April as I pass from that decade of the 40's into my 50's.

Preach it, HM! Reminds me of something I just wrote about an hour ago. Check the nogoodguitarpicker link below...

I just had the opportunity to attend the funereal of a friend who passed at 42 years of age from colon cancer. I don't know if she took all the necessary precautions or not, but I don't want to have to go to CA and pay my respects to any of your families! Julie left a husband and seven girls behind -- think about your little fishing buddies when you want to put off something like this!

Glad you're still clean (so to speak).

TELL it Harry, Tell it!!!!

and all you guys out there, when the Doctor wants to check your prostate, the correct response is "Yes, Doctor!" That can save your life too.
