Thread: Rectal cancer: researchers hail "breakthrough" experimental treatment

Thanks for the heads up , good that people are monitoring assholes in addition to our Mods.

Seniors are suggested to have prostate test, if found early good chances , leave it too long ....

I know at least one poster with a Riverview condo who is breathing a sigh of relief

Why don't you take your unfunny gibberish and fuck off.

Totally predictable infantile garbage from two posters already.

This of course is part of the problem.

Oh well.

My old man gets a check up every 6 months or so. At his check up last November they found something which turned out to be the early stages of prostate cancer, but because they'd caught it early he had it treated and was clear of it 6 weeks later. He still goes for regular check ups, of course.

His brother was diagnosed about 18 months ago, but it had never been checked before and was already at an advanced stage. We buried him 2 months ago.

It's such a cheap (if not free) and simple test, you'd have to be a moron not to do it.

It's fear, isn't it? You dread hearing something like that, so people put it off when that's pretty much the worst thing you can do.

Ignorance is bliss.

Ignorance is bliss.

A mate of mine was terrified of the idea of a colonoscopy, even though they were free in our company.

Same thing, he was scared of what they might find.

I managed to scare him even more at the prospect of not having one, and eventually he succumbed. Got the all clear, and couldn't thank me enough for badgering him into doing it.

I actually had one before I left. I was pleasantly surprised to find they've updated that godawful fucking shite you used to have to drink with something infinitely more palatable. That was the worst part as far as I concerned!

Why don't you just resist the temptation to post utter fucking bollocks all the time.

David’s post was an accurate and funny jab at some posters.

He also reminded folk of the consequences of not getting checked. Your unsubtle bullying attempts are not worthy.

Well for once I agree with sybille. It's infantile garbage.

And I don't do subtle.

Yep but Hazza didn't get beyond halfway through the first sentence.

Very good news. Somewhat tempered by the fact that the particular type of colorectal cancer in the study only accounts for about 15% of all colorectal cancers.

I dunno, the words rectal and breakthrough probably do not belong in the same sentance.

That's still around 50,000 lives that could potentially be saved.

It's not clear if the principle involved can be applied to other cancers.
