This post has done more for prostate cancer awareness than going on a blue ribbon ride or buying blue undies etc
My mother and father died relatively young from cancer in the bowels and other associated areas.
As such I get the hose every 5 years.
Prevention is way better than cure though. Maintaining a high fibre diet and a good sense of humour is just as important.

I have to concur the drugs last time were pretty good.
Previous round was no drugs and a little awkward.
Still I'd rather wall funny for a few hours once every 5 years (2 when in get to 45) than go through what my dad did.

I cant understand blue/pink/etc ribbon rides
I am aware of what they represent
I think we need more like this thread so people don't fear having a test before its too late.
What it is, whats involved etc.
We all fear going to the dentist (the $) but mostly we all go.
In these cases because you cant see it, most people ignore it, but for a few that don't can be disarsterious. (pun)
A very good friend of mine, his father died from pancreatic cancer (I think this is correct)
He knew this and followed through and got tested regularily, and YES they found it too.
He has survived after some major surgery and a long time. He has survived.
I have spoken to my doc and he has me on his sights![]()
READ AND UDESTAND
I picked up a patient recently, who was overjoyed that I had turned up (I had no other option)
They got the patients signature etc, who was still in a VERY HAPPY state, still had all facilities.
15 minutes later - patient had no recollection of the previous hour or of me arriving etc.
Felt a bit pissed they had gained a patients signature that things were OK, before the drug effects had worn off(short term memory loss - its a side effect).
What I know now, I will wait that 15-30 minutes just to see them come right before signature and heading off.
Yeah that 15 minutes was funny though and they don't remember a thing.![]()

Shit like this is why i hate it more...fuck you to....as if cancer wasnt bad enough it seems some kind of faggot exam isthe way to avoid it.A few in my family have suffered through the cancer thing with different results,having spent plenty of time with em i still have to wonder whats worse even with the worst outcome...silly no doubt but no matter how many times i read that

Be the person your dog thinks you are...
Sometimes we need to be reminded we arent invincible.
Yes some of the tests/exams arent nice but worth it if problems found.
You can always ignore it, thats one great thing about the internet you an turn it off, or plan/go for a ride.
Pity more people dont take the run on the road then fall on your hands - a good test to see if you need gloves.

Plenty of times in my life ive been reminded that i am not...will add that as we are indeed supposedly on a motorcycle forum that some of the most memorable are the times between knowing i had stretched a boundry or 2 on 2 wheels and the result of doing so....doesnt much help with the thought of whats required re the thread though.
Be the person your dog thinks you are...
as a srsly note.
There's afaik been no link between digital prostate exams and an increase of cancer detection.
Just a whole lot of doctors that want to finger your asshole.
As to colonoscopies, they're not exactly routine unless you're medically disposed toward cancer, innit.
