Good advice Mac'. The main reason most folk don't go for any test or even to have a Dr to look at a problem, is fear, so it's easer to close your eyes and sound out your loved ones, and it'll go away. Problem is it doesn't. So I'd say take Macliams advise, Stupidity and fear may not kill you, but it can sure helpmacliam wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29 2021 6:45pmNot a return to my earlier thread (though I have a CT-scan booked on Wednesday as part of ongoing monitoring), but something that I saw on the BBC website

Adele's reaction is much like mine - "I had a tumour, they removed it". However, it sounds as if her cancer was more advanced than mine, as she needs a stoma (hopefully temporarily). I wish her well.
Unfortunately, my return to the UK had me learn that my friend who was diagnosed just after me has lost her fight against the bitch. Like Adele, she was younger than me, but her cancer was more advanced.
Young people have little choice but to wait (and hope) that symptoms lead them to seek medical advice, but us oldies are automatically entered into the NHS screening programme - and you'd be stupid to pass up the chance of a diagnosis. It appears that the same screening is available privately for about £50, but how many people are likely to go for that in the absence of symptoms?
If you do get a screening kit, use it. Don't put it off!
How many people know or care much about anything nowadays. So many people are trying hard just to get on with/keep up with their lives.blythburgh wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02 2021 10:52am
How many people know or care how much the Americans have taken over our NHS. And how many will believe the right wing when they say "It does not matter who owns what as long as the NHS is free at source."
