bowel cancer screening

I don't even have the words mate

Cheers. Dunno why posting stuff like that seems to help, but it does (at least for me).

I think it was worse as I'd just started a new job, and thought "better get this seen just in case", then about 2 weeks later a member of my new team fell ill and found he had bowel cancer and had an emergency op and then he's been on cheamo ever since.
So it shits you up a bit.
(He's doing really well from what I hear, thankfully. Another young man with young kids. Its the kids thing that terrifies me if that makes sense.)

That's just bad circumstantial timing but it gave an insight into why anyone should have the checks. And posting something like this will help because others can respond with what they know on the subject because a scan isn't anywhere as bad as it's perceived and if it comes up with something treatment can be started early

A required 24 hour fast culminating in an enema would indicate Id not have had my dinner beforehand. I may, however be a bit peckish afterward, so, for that reason, I’ll decline the home movie.

I can't remember if I was offered the footage to take home, I might chase it up. That's just reminded me about the enema & my morning near the toilet

Sent off my two poo samples this morning, it's something I now do every six months.

Made my tissue hammock and held it rigid waiting for the package and for some reason it delivered at a right angle delivering most onto my wrist!!


Getting old just sucks!

I just put some bog roll on my hand and did a cack right in me hand

And you're an experienced cack catcher??? There's hope for all the newbie's there.

With the cricket on at the moment, I consider myself more of a "shit slip".

It was early morning in my defense and the fuccka shot out sideways and back. It must have been coached by Phil Parkinson.

Would have gone straight backwards in that case marra

You have to be very careful, they're sneaky as owt when they see bogroll

Reversible turds, great invention

No idea. But I don’t even like to look at my face in a mirror so the likelihood of me wanting a tour of my own arsehole is extremely slim.

I said no, but then they asked me to turn over and there it was in front of me, like the sewer scene from Ghostbusters

Yeah my mam died at 33 from colon cancer, leaving my dad and 4 kids behind ffs

That's horrendously heartbreaking, and as PTR posted: There are no words for that. Six lives shattered.

Yup I never got over it tbh.

I totally know where you're coming from with that, it makes you wonder about life. I don't mean that in a suicidal way but some are clearly less fortunate than others which was how I felt.

That's what matters, life (in whatever form) goes on and we need to make the best of it as hard is that feels at times,

Yes we do, because that's what they would've wanted xx

Exactly right, that was one of the things I would tell myself when I felt low.
