Why are you so reluctant to undergo colorectal screening?
Colon cancer is right behind (no pun intended) lung cancer and heart disease as the biggest threat to your mortality. And to think you would have survived with early detection. Cheez! Okay, a little smelly but so what? Are you so stupid that you’d rather die than submit a stool sample to your family doctor? Give your butt a break or Rest in Peace.

Some people would rather "Die from Embarrassment" than be poked and prodded up there.
I’m a rectal cancer survivor. So I’ve gone through every indignity possible that is associated with butt cancer.
A colonoscopy is a piece of cake, a bit uncomfortable, but that’s it.
They caught my cancer early, stage 2, so I only needed surgery to cure me. No Chemo no Radiation.
Honestly, the Doctors and Nurses who choose to work in this field, bless ‘em, do so because they want to save lives. They work with "poo, pus and pee everyday". , my Surgeons words, and it doesn’t bother them in the least, so it shouldn’t bother you.
Most people, that I know that have had the screening, have to be put to sleep and then they stick a video camera up their tail to check for polips ( spelling ). They are out of it for a day at least after that. I think that is what most men are scared of, to have something jammed up there.
This question seems to be addressed to an unnamed individual.
An odd way to use YA.
When it comes to colon cancer I have done it all, including having polyps removed.
But you forgot getting a physical with blood work done. It is supposed to done yearly. If I would have had my full physical every year instead of once waiting for three years I would have never had stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The oncologist told me not to start any long books and subscribe to Reader’s Digest. If I would have had a yearly physical it would have been caught at stage 1 or 2. Easily put into remission.
It took me 2 1/2 years of Chemotherapy but I beat it. And have been cancer free since June 17, 2001.
I’m not afraid at all. I’m the brother of a colorectal cancer survivor and get screened every five years. People who have a fear or feel it’s an indignity should see what my sister endured as a cancer patient. I have a friend who has suffered months of chemo and radiation who has surgery scheduled early next month.
Believe me, nobody, I mean NOBODY wants to endure what they go through. Ed says eating and digesting feel like he’s swallowed razor blades and all foods taste metallic.
Get the screening, or die a knowledgable fool.
I’m having my third screening just after the first of the year. In fact, the night before is worse than the procedure itself. Who cares if pretty nurses are looking at my butt?
I just had it done about 3 weeks ago, good news no polyps.
I have actually asked for these screenings being that I am already a cancer patient and I have a family history of colon cancer..
However, my doc insists that I am too young and dont need it.
I think it is more of a fear than anything
I’ve done it already because I have a family history of colon cancer. The exam is no big deal. The cleansing before hand is awful. 18-24 hours of liquids only and diarrhea. I’ll do it again, of course but I totally get why anyone would be hesitant.
