Caught it just in time. Stage 2. If waited any longer would have spread and had one done at 40 and 47. Don't wait until 50. I seen where healthcare lowered age to 45 now. Just tell them a Grand parent had it and you will be covered. 6 month scans cleared in July and had colonoscopy week of Thanksgiving have 3 polyps already. They came back noncancerous but were type that could eventually turn. I have never met anyone that did not have polyps. You are gambling with your life not to get the coloscopy. Next set of scans in January. Appreciate you asking Rudy. I hope I can reach as many as I can in this fight. I am not ashamed to tell my story. I went from working 4-5 12 hour shifts a week to being home and having a shit bag. I was fortunate having a great surgeon and was able to have the reversal surgery 2 months later and get my life back to what it was pre-cancer. I would not wish those 2 months of hell on anyone having a time bomb attached to you. If I can just scare people into getting checked it is worth it so you don't have to endure those two months. Sorry to screw up a Christmas thread.
