RE: A Wednesday Walk I Stumbled Upon

Thanks so much
Funny thing is last year I focused on healthy eating more exercise and was feeling the best I have for years and for that matter i still do and do not regret it and will do the same this year
but alas me and my brother have had issues with lots of polyps on our 6 monthly colonoscopies and we did the genetic test and have a gene giving us a very high chance of devoloping colon cancer like in the 98% range, so he feels 6 monthly colonoscopies are not ging to be enough to kep up, so I have to have most of my colon removed, not looking forward to it but its for the best, just need and hope my arteries near my heart are clear the Surgeon wanted a clearance from a cardiologist first and since Have had blockages in my legs she has me doing a stress test in two weeks before she will clear me,

but either way its all for the good and staying positive

Sorry for waffling on about this I just had to get it out LOL

No problem I understand. The colon thing I have putting it off and I will get one this year. The Doc has been hounding me since I was 45. Now 50, I was a little put off by it initially but a lot had to do with the referral I got, a doctor named Dr. Ferry 🤣😂🤣 Im sure you have had many and I got to step foward on the first one, haha.

Hoping you pass all those pre checks and get done what you have to and come out better than before 🙏 Keep staying positive 👍

I will be honest I put mine off way more than I should have was 62 when I got my first one, and then have had three since every 6 months, and realize how lucky I have been, the Dr basically said it is amazing luck for both me and my brother who did the same, statistically is almost 99.99% odds one of us would have had cancer and we are so lucky that neither of us have had it, and all our kids and grandkids are recommended to start having them at 18

yes thats my hope since I know I need the surgery I just want it done and over with, if I have blockages affecting my heart the cardiologist said I need those cleared first, a similar rocedure to when I had my legs done, so not worried about that but concerned if that happens that my surgery will be delayed a year

Oh I didn't realize colon cancer was hereditary and could prompt our kids and grand kids to be checked at such an early age. Well I hope you don't have any blockages of your heart and get this surgery done and over with. I know that will give you a lot of peace of mind.
