Don't put it off
The colonoscopy, that is. It's not a big deal. Two years ago at 50 I made excuses. A year ago I felt my general health, appetite and energy start tanking. I thought it would pass. Three weeks ago I finally went to my doctor, who referred me for a colonoscopy, which determined I had a cancerous tumor on my colon. I've lost 28 pounds and am on a liquid diet, but I'm fortunate (at this point) the prognosis is good. Scans and tests show it hasn't spread to other organs and very operable, with surgery next week at a top notch place in NJ and probably chemo after and we're keeping positive and hopeful I will resume a normal life again. So that's my story, please don't let it be yours. Git 'er done. This is no fun.
