RIP Chadwick Boseman

[homer]

Only 43. Colon cancer. Wow.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Extremely talented actor who gave legendary performances in both "42" and "Black Panther". Had several other standout roles as well. Stunning that he filmed the bulk of his filmography while fighting colon cancer, and managed to keep the diagnosis a secret.

Get those colonoscopies guys. It's never too soon.

my doctor's office was actually getting a hold of me Wednesday to get mine set up. And I was like ehhh...

 

I think I'll rethink my hesitation

I had one this summer, it was a piece of cake. Even the prep wasn't as bad as everyone says. It wasn't a great deal of fun, but it surely wasn't a horrible experience.

If you're not at high risk, do Cologuard instead of a colonoscopy. Much easier to just poop in a bag and mail it in, and you're supporting the Wisconsin economy.

I would do that just for fun.

Reading that he died from colon cancer at that age really hit home for me. When I turned 30 I had to have emergency surgery due to a GI issue. They happened to also find a polyp in my colon which I later got removed and it turned out to be precancerous. I'm now on a schedule to get a colonoscopy every five years. Had it not been for this fluke issue and surgery it could very well have turned into cancer long before the time I would have gone in for a regular screening at 50 since I had no family history of colon cancer. Please get screened as soon as you can.
