Went in for a routine Colonoscopy. I knew I was in trouble when the nurse came in after the procedure and told me "the doctor needs to talk with you". I was told I had a large growth and I needed to see my doctor immediately. I had 2 feet of my colon removed and all the lymp nods around that area. It was Cancer.
My reason for writing this is two fold. If you are 60 you need to have a colonoscopy. Big Grin

Secondly,I leave Saturday for my 7th African Safari since my surgery. Don't wait to go hunting. Life is to short.
I AM A LUCKY MAN. dancing

I am glad you are still with us to write this post. Good luck and god bless.

My father-in-law just had a brain tumor removed and I am praying I can get him to Africa next year to tag along with me. You just never know. Cancer is a scary thing.

I just want to echo Chuck's warning. I had a scare about 3 years ago that was luckily benign but it really made me think about my priorities in life.

anyone over 60 who has not had a colonoscopy is walking through a mine field, barefooted. good luck to the poster. having been down the cancer/chemo trail, i can say it is a scary thing...

Amen Chuck! Look forward to reading the report on your 14th safari! Good hunting.


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

0nly 50 but I tell everyone, don't wait and do the things you always wanted to do now.
Shit happens and you are screwed.
And to hell with money, can't take it with you so blow it on your bucket list.
It already hit too close to me couple of times.
