Step 1: Colonoscopy, Step 2: Colon surgery, Step 3 Chemotherapy. Sitting in the Chemo room today, observations have shown that cancer is more common than i assumed. When you start counting the number of people in the large waiting room and the number of patients getting treatment next to you times 3 treatment rooms you begin to understand that the war on cancer is still waging.
Other than being on the younger side, there were still some even younger. Cancer may increase in odds as we age, but is still indiscriminate in type, gender or stage of life.
I came across these two articles published in the Chicago Times on the reporter undergoing a colonoscopy and reader reactions. You can scroll down for the original publication.
Did you schedule your colonoscopy this year?
