My Dad's at stage 4...and had an extended gap between visits for his colonoscopies...and in that gap the tumour took hold and spread.

Stage 1 and 2 are pretty survivable. Stage 3 is a little survivable. Stage 4 is...a waiting game.

I'm goin' for my "close up" next week. I thought I'd post the video to YouTube...and call it, "MyTube"...but apparently I don't get to keep the video.

A colonoscopy could save your life. The blood swipe tests for blood in the stool are inaccurate and a waste of money as not all colon cancer cases involve blood in the stool. In Canada testing begins at age 40 for both women and men. Colon cancer rates in men and women are equal.

Please don't die of embarrassment.

Love and peace to all.

Pa1ntballGuitarist, that is horrible. I can not imagine the pain you feel. I don't know what to say to you so I'll say what I would like to hear. I love you. It hurts like hell to go through any loss and to live without the one you love. I am sure you miss him greatly. What happened is a travesty.

Love and peace to you and all your loved ones.
