Slick 60's

What's on my mind.
My yearly rant about COLON CANCER is what's on my mind.
I'm starting my13th year of survival from stage 4 colon cancer and I'm thankful to the doctors, nurses, and surgeons who saved me, but truthfully, it was a situation that could have and should have been avoided if I'd gotten a colonoscopy when I was 50.
Folks, colon cancer is dangerous because its slow growing, it doesn't hurt until it's to late, and if you're a man, you 'WANT" to believe those black spots in your stool are from having eaten a steak the night before, not a sign from God that you have a problem.
I survived for of a lot of reasons; the most important of which was that God apparently wasn't done with my worthless ass yet (pun intended).
Please, man or woman, go get a colonoscopy if you're over 50. It doesn't hurt a bit, the drugs are great and you might just save yourself having to wear a fucking plastic bag on your belly for the rest of your life.
Trust me, that part really sucks but its better than assuming room temperature because you were chicken..... or stupid.
If you've never been checked, please, do it now and save your own life.
U@ss

Skip, I started having my checkup before it was easy, and I still don't like it. The ol proctoscope was a real thrill , and if you never had that one count your lucky stars. Then came the snake thing, another thrill .

Thanks Skip! I got mine, couple of polyps and I'm good for another 5 years. Had a dear friend that lost his battle with colon cancer, damn shame. Listen up people Skip speaks the truth.
