Had a hard time watching that, my heart goes out to the Corsi family.
This hits close to home since my dad died the same way. He refused to get a colonoscopy and the undetected cancer spread from his colon to his liver, kidneys, and lungs. You definitely don't want to be in the room when the oncologist tells your loved one that they've never seen cancer progress this quickly and that there's nothing they can do other than make them comfortable. He died less than a month after being diagnosed.
Please get your scheduled colonoscopy. If not for yourself, then for your loved ones.
Experiences - some years ago, my daughter had a boyfriend and he was 26. He had undergone an appendectomy, suffered a weight loss after the surgery but didn't get the weight back.... found out he had colon cancer. He underwent surgery and survived. They split up, but he's alive and well. Rather unusual to have this happen at 26.
Then they screened his brother (18) and his sister (20) - and his sister had pre-cancerous polyps.
Last month, I met with my NP and she said "hey it's been 10 years". She put in an order for the procedure. It sat here on the desk.
When I heard the story about Jim, I decided to not delay - I''m having it done in February.
Jim went public with this - so that many will be aware and will go forward with the screening. Or, they won't delay on it, as I was about to do.
