[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please get your colonoscopies! 45 with no family history, younger if you you have a history.[/quote]

James got his. Feels like you are blaming him.[/quote]

I don’t believe he got them as he should have:

- he was unaware that the screening age had dropped from 50 to 45

- he had changes in his bowel habits and attributed it to caffeine intake rather than speaking to a physician[/quote]

What?

Who cares if he knew the screening age if he still got one at what turned out to be the recommended screening age?

People have changes in bowel habits for myriad reasons. I hope you don’t suggest that one go running to the doctor or for a colonoscopy as the first step every time? In addition to being impractical on a personal level, it’s impractical on a system level.[/quote]
He was diagnosed at 46. He did not get screened at 45 and had publicly said he didn’t know screening was recommended at 45. I am suggesting people get tested when recommended and discuss changes in your status with your physician. [/quote]

This is the medical equivalent of being pedantic. [/quote]

It was 17 months after he turned 45 before he was screened AND he was not asymptomatic. Certain cancers cause things like oily or floating poop. This is not just caffeine makes me go. He had unexplained weightloss (another cancer indicator) and fatigue as well as abdominal pain.

So I completely disagree. [/quote]

Okay. I’m sure that you need to tell yourself he died of cancer at 48 freaking years old because HE f—ked up somehow.

Hopefully that will make you feel more in control.[/quote]

Wtf? No, I am simply saying he had symptoms like abdominal pain and bowel changes, unexplained fatigue and weight loss- which he blew off as caffeine related. If you think those combined symptoms don’t warrant finding out what is going on, that’s likely the minority. It isn’t blaming someone to simply say that those symptoms should have resulted in talking to a doctor sooner than he did and he himself said I was late getting a colonscopy. It’s not blaming him…it’s correcting people who say it’s pedantic to get a colonscopy right when it’s due (and ignores that he was symptomatic).

I would imagine even he wld have said he shld have moved faster. Only you think it was just fine to ignore everything. [/quote]

But he DIDN’T blow anything off, you absolute f—king moron. He DID go to the doctor and he DID get a colonoscopy, and he died anyway. He didn’t ignore anything.

And you seem INCREDIBLY bad at math and statistics if you think that a recommendation that stood for DECADES to get screened starting at 50 suddenly changing to 45 means that 45 is some magic number as compared to… 46.

Seriously, you’re both an idiot AND an absolute a$$hat.[/quote]

💯!!!!![/quote]

It may have been brushed off though by the first doctor he saw about it. They tend to do that here. The American doctors are always usually the worst[/quote]
