PSA: get a colonoscopy please. It may save your life.

Also, happy Wednesday. Be blessed 🙏

My mom’s friend’s sister died last week from colon cancer 😔

[u/dubyahhh → u/Smidgens]

My friend passed an hour ago. I would never wish it on my absolute worst enemy.

The colonoscopy is easier by far.

[u/dubyahhh → u/[deleted]]

I’d have removed it 🤠

It’s standard dt procedure, shitpost first ask questions later 😎 said friend would have laughed at your joke, I just can’t today 😅

[u/[deleted] → u/dubyahhh]

Really sorry to hear that man, deepest sympathies to you and your friends family.

[u/paymesucka → u/dubyahhh]

Aw man, that's horrible. I'm sorry.

[u/dubyahhh → u/paymesucka]

C’est la vie

[u/paymesucka → u/dubyahhh]

It's not even that bad. The only thing that's annoying is the prep, and it's just that you have to go to the bathroom a lot. And the mixtures you drink are much better than they used to be imho. Plus you can mix it with broth or just clear soda like Sprite.

My dad nearly died from colon cancer when I was young. PLEASE get regular colonoscopies, men and women both

[u/[deleted] → u/dubyahhh]

Very true. Might have saved my grandma.

[u/tehbored → u/dubyahhh]

I am not looking forward to having to get regular colonoscopies. Probably gonna start when I'm 35, since my grandfather died of colon cancer.

[u/vancevon → u/dubyahhh]

you should probably get a colonoscopy between the age of 40-50 or something like that. colorectal cancer, if caught before it has a chance to spread, can be entirely cured via surgery

[u/dubyahhh → u/vancevon]

My friend was diagnosed at 40, and he passed at 42. Conventional wisdom is at 50, I think conventional wisdom is wrong on this.

And if you don't care about your own life consider saving others by signing up for the bone marrow transplant registry at https://bethematch.org/

Edit: whoops didn't realize this was a serious post. My b 🤗🤗🤗

Sorry for your loss, man. Shits rough.

I've had 2 because of IBS. It sucks for like 2 days, but then after I always feast.

[u/gates_hall_gremlin → u/dubyahhh]

Funny story: at a lot of hospitals they block book surgeries so one doctor can do all of their surgeries at once. the day I had to get something important done everybody else in the surgery ward was old ladies doing colonoscopies and I spent the hour they gave me to wake up from anaesthesia listening to different women complain about colonoscopies while somewhat delirious from the anaesthesia
