Seriously, my younger brother died of colon cancer at age 50 having been diagnosed with stage 4 at 46. It's not so bad to give up 2 days in order to save your own life.Rosie Willettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052720384968058654.post-80982216092918103112012-06-02T18:40:46.902-07:002012-06-02T18:40:46.902-07:00I've been following your blog a bit, having th...I've been following your blog a bit, having the love-bug for canines. I had to make a comment about this cuz I too had a colonoscopy a couple of days ago and wrote about it on my blog. There is nothing fun about the procedure or the prep or the recovery for that matter. :o)Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00503098171330652123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052720384968058654.post-6960194624767575152012-06-02T17:59:15.230-07:002012-06-02T17:59:15.230-07:00Your mind/imagination is by far one of the most co...Your mind/imagination is by far one of the most complex and humorous. You can blame it on the Versed and Fentanyl but I know better. <br /><br />I actually love the idea of the Magnesium Citratini - I know I would drink it, at least for my colonoscopy. This may indeed be something that you could market for all the Hollywood chics. <br /><br />And thanks to you I now envision a new Apple app called 'Angry Bowels' instead of Angry Birds. Different sections of the colon shooting out polyps towards their targets in hopes of a high score. You know...We could come up with a few things here to sell between the Mag Citratini, Bill Cosby and Angry Bowels. My mind is spinning!<br /><br />I have no idea if our minds work the same or not (actually, it is a scary thought) but I so get the camo-fatigue clad polyp with a Beret and sporting a goatee and smoking Clove cigarettes while he sits casually around a fold in the colon. <br /><br />After you get the results from the camo-fatigued polyp you better write a blog called Toomey & Paulie. That is brilliant! <br /><br />On a serious note - I am so happy that you believe in early detection no matter how stubborn you may be. I know that those of us that are close to you are relieved that you - even though tired, hungry and 'hmm...won't go there' - followed through. I, for one, am pleased. I would imagine that it wouldn't be easy to go through and then wait for results even though the chances of it being malignant are minimal. I have spent the last thirteen plus years working in Endoscopy and I have seen too many times what happens when it isn't caught early. For what it is worth, I am proud of you my friend.<br /><br />The next time I see you - I will personally buy you some sympathy sushi. And I have no doubt that you will remind me.Solitude.Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02544501246405130709noreply@blogger.com
