Ok thanks great info.
Very well said and it makes a lot of sense. I did not think of the family members suffering.
I didn't know what the Check-6 label under members name stood for until now. What a great way to raise awareness. Being a man over 50 I have assumed the position several times for a check of my 6 and it's not a big deal. Well done for raising awareness.
Thanks for sharing. I'm an appendiceal cancer survivor, presently on surveillance. Good info.
I'm posting again to push this thread up towards the top. It's important to get screened.
I have already been diagnosed with cancer so the prostrate had to go.
Fortunately, the cancer went with it.
Afterwards, I had my colon checked and they removed a couple of precancerous polyps so I am back in 3 years.
Basically, with these kind of test, if you snooze you LOSE!!~!!!!!

Do it. The prep and the test are not that big of a deal!
Prepping for one right now. Scheduled for tomorrow morning.
The lemon/lime prep solution is not pleasant.

Good Luck Mike. its a breeze
Thank you for your support. Only 1/2 gallon of that nasty prep fluid to drink and 10 hours until I leave for the procedure.
How did this get to the 3rd page
Heading to the hospital in about 7 hours for my first ever. Turned 50 in September. Not exactly looking forward to it, but I'd rather go through this than chemo or radiation therapy any day.
Got back a few hours ago. Don't remember anything about the procedure.
Let's just say that it was a good thing I had this done when I did. The doctor wants me on the 3 year plan.

Glad you got it done!
I was put on the 5 year plan. Good luck to you and spread the word!
Glad you are getting it done. Saved my life.
Glad you went when you did and good they are keeping an eye on you. Best wishes.
Thank you Sir! Doctor was pretty sure it was pre- cancerous. I shudder to think what it could of evolved into if I put off this procedure.
As a side note to this, while I was going through some boxes of my Dad's things last night, I found a letter. The address on the envelope was to my Dad "in case something happens to me." It was the letter that his Mom, my grandmother, wrote to him the night before she went to the hospital in hopes of saving her life. This was the 1940's, and there was no way they could have caught it in time. That said, the letter is heartbreaking. What can a mother say to her 7 year old son? We are lucky because it doesn't have to be like this anymore. No child should have to receive a letter like that when we have the means to prevent it.
