I wanted to take this opportunity to use the power of the internet to encourage everyone to get the tests done that your doctor has been encouraging you to get done but you have been putting off.
As I have been dealing myself with treatment for rectal cancer for the past 8 months I have met so many people that have been putting off having the potentially lifesaving test for colo-rectal cancer done. Ah yes, the dreaded colonoscopy. It has amazed me how many people I have met that have put off this test even after they were showing initial symptoms. The most common initial symptoms are bleeding and diarrhea. These are so often written off as a result of hemorrhoids and a little irregularity. By far more men seem to not want to have this test done. Well guys, suck it up and get the test done. The prep time the day before certainly is no fun but you will most likely be sound asleep for the test. So stop acting like babies and go get the test scheduled.
So please take my advice and get the test done if you are due, if not for yourself, then for your family.
