Saw an article about him when he went to The Dawson's Creek reunion and he was looking rough. RIP

48, way too young.

My roommates mom would record Dawson’s Creek for us on VHS and send it to us and we’d watch it in our dorm room on our 13 inch TV. Yes, I was in college in the late 1990’s

Sad deal. I was touched at the cast doing a fundraiser for him last year. They seem like a good group.

 

[NickTheGreat]

So sad. We all knew he was sick, but I was hoping he'd come around.

Cancer sucks

Horrible news, colorectal cancer has been on the rise for younger Americans for years now. Pretty much a death sentence if you can’t catch it early but very treatable if you do.

If you haven't talked with your primary about this concern and you are over 40 you probably should bring it up even without a family history. Mostly to see if insurance will cover early detection procedures/testing.

I had been putting off the dreaded colonoscopy for years. I finally got one a few weeks ago at 58 1/2. They removed one polyp that proved to be pre-cancerous.

We have lost 3 members of our tailgating crew to cancer in about 2 years. Don't put it off, it could easily save your life. If you won't do it for you, do it for your loved ones. Watching someone you love die of cancer far too early is a terrible thing to go through.

Now someone please help me convince Mrs. Velo to go get a mammogram...

Had 6 kids oldest is 15 and 3 under 10. So sad.

A mammogram is the EASIST. I’m usually in and out inn15 minutes.

100% right. And don’t try to take an “easy” way out with at home testing. They are no where near as reliable as the scope and it doesn’t get you the full picture

You waited until 58 to get a colonoscopy and are preaching preventative screenings? You only missed your first screening by 13 years.

People had me super scared about mammograms. But when I went for my first, I was amazed at how easy it was. Is it the most comfortable thing? No. But I've had three friends in the last year diagnosed with varying levels of breast cancer.

My doctor has advised me I wouldn't have to get a screening every year because I have no family history and I've had clean screens. I told him I'll keep getting them as long as insurance covers them. It costs me a copay and 30 minutes of my day. (BTW, he's only telling me that because he's required to. He urges me to get them.)

My dr said I could do the Cologuard or a full colonoscopy since I have no family history. Admittedly, I went with the first option. I know I'll have to switch to the other at some point.

To honor not make fun of....

 

[JEFF420]

I have heard it's the best sleep ever during recovery.

I had zero recollection of the procedure...and zero after effects! Yes...the prep that goes into is not fun! But if you are able to schedule around your life and plan ahead...it really isn't a huge deal! Had 2 so far...got a 7 year call-back for the next one...so that is some nice peace of mind!
