Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 When Phil was in for his ENDOSCOPY there were 2 medical students observing. They had had colonoscopies. I commented that they were young and that it was good they decided to get tested now rather than wait until 40 or 50. They said based on what they are learning they can't understand why cancer screening doesn't start earlier than middle age. Do you suppose the message is FINALLY getting out to a new generation of Dr.s and DO's? Narice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 they should start to have it at early age than wait until 40's or 50's. if they have family history of colon cancer or something having problem with bowels, they better start it before too late. I didnt know I had colon cancer before that. doctor at mental health wanted to have blood test from me. he got result of blood test and it was alot of lows in blood. He wanted me to see my own doctor so he also wanted me to have blood test. when i see him, he asked me if i had blood in stomach, I said I dont know so he referal me to see gasterologist. the gasterologist explained me about colonscopsy and I asked her questions about it. I never had it before. on that day I had first colonscopsy, she found tumor 6-7cm and called surgeon to talk to my parents. I had to stay in hosptial. I had surgery next day. they gave me blood transfusion. I stayed there one week and two days. i am sorry it is so long.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 I agree with Priscilla and we all need to be on that band wagon.... Think about it ladies, we are told to see the gyn at 20 and have to begin having mammograms then too....what's the difference - we're still looking for early cancer signs. lori higgins lori_higgins2003@...> wrote: they should start to have it at early age than wait until 40's or 50's. if they have family history of colon cancer or something having problem with bowels, they better start it before too late.
