On a separate note:
Just lost an uncle to colon cancer yesterday. Went into the hospital for another ailment less than a month ago and during the diagnosis they discovered “innumerable” tumors all through his body. His body shut down so abruptly in the past few days and I’m just happy he’s no longer in pain.Please get a colonoscopy when you’re of age. He never did and it sounds like some of this was preventable.― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Wednesday, April 14, 2021 11:06 AM (one month ago) Sorry, Bacon Flavor. That is tough.

Blockquoting all this because as I mentioned I did have my colonoscopy as scheduled (combined with an endoscopy due to an otherwise perfectly controllable stomach acid issue, but they're doing some double checking. As table says, a rather unpleasant experience yesterday both fasting and aggressively clearing your system, but still manageable, and the actual experience was perfectly straightforward -- they prep you up, knock you out and then next thing you know you're sitting around waiting. (I was a slight hair awake at the very end of the procedure but again, the very end, and honestly felt nothing.) A very tiny polyp was found -- like 2 mm -- and removed for study; I'm not worrying overly.
So yeah, get it done, though of course I'm painfully aware not everyone in America is so lucky in that regard. There has however also been this newly announced major change:
https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/18/health/colorectal-cancer-screening-45-wellness/index.html
The US Preventive Services Task Force on Tuesday lowered the recommended age to start screening for colon and rectal cancers from 50 to 45...."We think by screening, starting at age 50, we prevent about 50 cases of colorectal cancer in a population of 1,000 people and avoid about 25 deaths. If we drop to age 45, we'll prevent two or three additional cases and maybe one death," Dr. Michael Barry, vice chair of the task force, told CNN. "We thought it was appreciable enough that it was time to change the recommendation to go down to age 45." With the official recommendation, colorectal cancer screening services for 45- to 75-year-olds will be covered by most private insurance plans, with no copay. "The implication is that for many people, there'll be less of a barrier to getting screened aged 45 to 49," said Barry, who noted that there may be a time lag before insurance coverage kicks in.

So yeah, get ready to get on that if you're of an age now, and per table if you have a history, go for it sooner.

My own personal dad has prostate cancer, detected very responsibly and with an excellent prognosis so far (99% 10 and 15 years cancer free after treatment) but it’s not great to have to start thinking that my parents, who have both always been in generally good health, are yknow 70.
― Clara Lemlich stan account (silby), Friday, 28 May 2021 01:22 (two years ago) link
Ned, I'm going to be 49 this year and really don't want to get this done, but I know I need to do it (and will).

In Australia we receive a testing kit in the mail when we turn 50. Such is my level of self care that I haven't used it, a year later.

I’ve got one penciled in for next Friday. I’ve probably had a dozen or more (crohns disease don’t ya know). It’s fine, the diarrhea potion the day before is worse than the procedure. Also I like getting knocked out by drugs, so. Now back in the 80s they didn’t give you anything for comfort, that sucked.

Im due for my 2nd colonscopy (had polyps in the first, history of bowel fuckery in fam) and the hosp has been harrassing me for six months to come back in lol. Been avoiding cuz covid. Also, hating the pineapple diahreah palaver.

Have been wondering if anyone has heard from or about onimo? I could do a search, I guess...
In other news, I had an atypical neoplasm removed from my face, now it turns out the genetic marker that makes me more susceptible to colorectal cancers has a different name in the skin cancer world and also makes me more susceptible to skin cancers. Going in for a full day of numbing and scraping at my face in late July. What can ya do? To think I used to be in films

I saw onimo in actual real life last weekend, the two of us and our other halves went out for a meal and a few drinks as a belated birthday celebration, he was in pretty good form. I'm sure he'll be back with an update before too long, but I'll tell him folk are asking for him.
Best of luck, table. And all usual "fuck cancer" vibes all round.
