In the real world we are mortal. As such there is no hopping clones when they wear out or plugging in int if your a bit daft. Getting podded in your car is a one time experience.
This week doctors found a golf ball sized tumor in my wife's Colon. So far there appears to be no sign of cancer but it rocked my world a little. We are in our 30's and most doctors don't suggest folks go for a colonoscopy until they are 50. In the case of my wife this would have been too late and the news would have been much worse. If our GP was not an exceptional doctor and referred her to have the procedure my life would have been very different in 10 years time. I would be facing life alone with out my soul mate. A special thanks to Dr. Kantas for kicking arse as a doctor.
Anyhow. This blog post is not to talk so much of dodged bullets. Rather encourage folks to go out and get your innards looked at. Taking a tube up the tail pipe might save your life. So don't wait until your 50 before adding a colonoscopy to your health maintenance list. If your over 30 stop trying to be 20 and face up that our real world clones need some work to keep them tickin'
Cheers and good health to you all.

Great to hear they found it. I am about to turn 30 and will head into my first colonoscopy this year thanks to my family's history of colon cancer.
ReplyDeleteIt is an important message to get out there. All the best to you and your wife!
thanks! Yeah it rocked our world as no one in either family has a hsitory of cancer.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and wishes of a clean bill of health you as well mate.
Really. I cannot stress enough that folks should NOT wait until they are 50 to do this. I am off for my annual physical soon and I am going to ask the Doc for a referal. Better to know than to die finding out.

Oh man I just read this post, sorry to hear the news, I sincerely hope things are working out for the better. I'm 33 now and my wife's been insisting I get the insides checked out, consider how much I smoke I think she may be onto something.
ReplyDeleteYour family is in my prayers.
Thanks for dropping in and the well wishes. So far the news has been good and we hope it stays that way.
ReplyDeleteBoth myself and the doctors cannot stress enough how this saved my wife’s life. I'd defiantly recommend a colonoscopy as part of health maintenance to anyone in their 30's
The Misses had a dull pain that would come and go and rendom bleeding (TMI in know). She was also tired all the time (more so than a married woman normally is ;) ).
Anyhow, if your in your 30's get the colonoscopy.
Cheers
