    My sister just got done having her colon removed and starts chemo on Wed. She's 47 and looking back, she thinks she's had her cancer for about 4 years.

    Our family has had a crash course in colon cancer over the last month. If you have an immediate family member who's had colon cancer (or any number of other cancers), you really should get your doctor involved. They may or may not prescribe colonoscopies early or not. I'm 37, and knowing what I know now about our families genetic history I probably should have starting getting colonoscopies 10+ years ago.

    Sprinky, serious question....your sister thinks she's had that about four years right? Can she look back to that time and recount any abnormalities in daily life that might have given her some clues, now that she thinks about it in retrospect? Sometimes even just the slightest bit of info passed on could help others. I'd be interested to hear if she did. This shit (no pun intended) is no joke.

    Oh, and your sister is in my thoughts and prayers by the way.:)

    I asked her that exact question...she said that her shits were mucousy and that in retrospective that could have tipped her off if she had known. She said that bloody stool is a big tip off, although she didn't really have any of that.

    I hope your shit (pun intended) turns out OK

    the worst part is drinking all the clean out fluid. if you mix it up and get it really chilled that helps then in about 20 minutes you start going and don't wander too far from the throne. I had no discomfort at all from the procedure and neither did darethea . the only stipulation was no heavy lifting for a few days. bill and darethea

    Good info. Again, good thoughts/vibes/prayers for your sister, and Fizzer too.

    Colon cancer dropped my grandpa before he saw 60.

    Poor dude had just retired 2 years earlier too.

    He liked to drink and eat red meat and avoid the doctors office.

    I wonder often if he would have got this earlier in life if he would still be here.

    I've had four of them. Nothing the first time, one polyp each the other three times. Nothing to them except the prep and that ain't too bad. Best part is the "Blazing Saddles" camp fire scene in the recovery room.
