so you dont fancy pooing on a stick

[big-all]

like most people we all avoid anything that checks what comes out the body as no one knows our body like we do


or do we

full story

at 60 age related test poo on a stick to a card 2 times per motion so 2 spots over 3 days or 6 samples
send it off get a second test and repeat

now the test measures minute amounts off blood in your poo
these can be from several sources like bleeding nose/throat/gums
infection/piles /polyps
infact from quite a few sources with cancer being a small pecentage so really suspecting low chance off cancer

invited for a colonoscapy[camera up the bum]

really nice team
you watch the large tv and what they find
they expain whats going on as they go
yep this looks like a polyp and they take a byopsy
another polyp another byopsy
then a third one he says this
" this one is hard"
i say
"does that mean its cancer"
he says
"what do you think your here for"-----------------------







------------------- award for tact off the year goes too



any way approximately 5 or so weeks later 1/2 my lower bowel removed now fully clear no cancer
the actual cancer was the size off a 50p and as thin
now you can never say never but fingers crossed

Crikey, glad they picked that up!

Fingers crossed you are in the clear now.

 

[gregers]

so you really shouldve been called 'big ar5e'

glad you had the mindset to get yourself checked out,and hope your feeling a lot better.

I would also urge any one to get their prostate checked out as well if in doubt.
Good luck big-all.

I've done this once so far and, luckily, had a negative result - no colonoscopy, thank God. In my view, ar$es were designed for stuff to come out of, not to put things in!

Good luck BA.

Yeah best of Al. We have a history of bowel camcer in my family, my father being testement to that so I shall have to have regular inspectioms soon. Cant say I am looking forward to it, but its one of the more treatable cancers.

Once again all the best to you.
