This is concerning.......
This type of thing happens in all sectors it seems.I read it and comprehended it the 1st time I read it.
Drs push the colonoscopy because they get more insurance $$ from it than the fecal lab work. It's part of their MMGL/Never Done list that they focus on to the point of a fetish instead of taking care of what IS or may actually be wrong with their patient at the time of their visit.
I won't further disrupt this thread with that part of it tho, other than to say........
Next week is diarrhea awareness week
Runs until Friday

Yes, because every cure for every disease has always been presentabsolutely our diets can be toxic. eat healthy, all things in moderation. Most important of all, don't participate in medical experiments
So basically... you got shaz-edThe colonoscopy is no fun - drinking all that crap to get cleaned out. Then you go to the hospital and they give you date rape drug. Wake up and you don't really feel violated but, do you ever really know?
Hits pretty close to home, Friday was the 1 year anniversary of my last radiation and chemotherapy treatment for rectal cancer. I get a colonoscopy every year, last time I had 11 precancerous polyps, not related to my cancer. My little sister, granny and aunt all had colon cancer. I'm trying to avoid the bag but it's been hell. But it could always be worse!!I got a colonoscopy a couple of years ago, when I was 46 or so. They had just lowered the recommendation to 45. I'll do it as recommended, it's preventative maintenance.
My brother got one around age 35 due to some abdominal pain. He had a bunch of polyps and was told if he'd have waited he would've had colon cancer by 50. This spurred me to action. I'd rather have the couple days of aggravation from the cleanout than a colostomy bag.
I can't rely on pooping In a box, Dr says wouldn't have caught my cancers.In place of a colonoscopy which is very invasive, you can also send fecal matter to a lab to get tested.
The OP said that in 2022 colo and rectal cancer are the most common types. Any idea why they spiked in 2022?
I have a buddy who works on those things. He solders and repairs them.My dad told me in no uncertain terms to be extra careful with colonoscopies because according to his network of other senior citizens the procedure has the risk of introducing cancerous cells into the patient if the equipment is not new or is poorly sterilized.
Do your own research, but that may be a question to ask your primary care provider.
Same here but it's a forbidden topic.I have a buddy who works on those things. He solders and repairs them.
As far as why the cancers spiked in 2022, I have a pretty good idea...
