I watched football and TV till 12:49, did not even know it was past midnight till the wife told me. Did not see any of the NYE shows, ball drops or fireworks...amazing! Tom Sellick was on all night with a nature show on Discovery so I flipped between it and the football and a little American Pickers...really wild night

Glad to hear Frank, and sorry I was upfront in my first posts, its just not something to mess around with as you have learned. It hit home when my friend Marco died. He went in when something didn't feel right, they went in and looked, did the normal chemo and radiation, but it was too late. At 63 years old he died a young man, left behind his wife and kids, so sad for something that could have been avoided.

My original post was geared at those that haven't done it, age 50 or earlier should be your first one, even though its a pain in the ass, literally, getting it done early outweighs the possibilities.

The bleeding is fairly normal. If it continues on after a few days, then I would be concerned, but it will stop.

Dave, your warning was much needed and appreciated for everyone. I knew better and was gambling as I never expected to make it this far as is(Dad died at 62, his father at 36). I got lucky, this has been scheduled for 3 years and either I or the VA canceled another 3 years and I would be **** out of luck...still may be until the pathology comes back.

Bleeding has subsided, not stopped. All my friend are at the lease hunting, wanted me to come but no lifting or straining for 2 weeks, never knew that was recommended but w 13 polyps with pictures! and this bleeding I am better off staying home and resting at least for a week.

Glad you are doing better Frank. Now quit smoking and you might be able to keep up with me and my bad hip.

The pathology came back clear, no cancer but wanted me to redo in 6 mos...I laughed, It will take me 6 mos just to see my VA Doc again and then he has to request and they Might get around to it in a couple of years and very unlikely w the same Doc.
