The Correct Procedures

Today has been a hard day for me. At my age it just didn’t make sense to not get checked out for colon cancer. So I complained and did what I had to do after the COVID 19 band was lifted, but because I was not willing to do the procedure where I would have had to pay out of pocket rather than going to the hospital where it would be 100% covered for me, and the delaying of the first place in transferring my records as I had signed forms giving the new facility the authority to request them. There was an unusually long delay. However, once I discovered whet the holdup was, I went personally and retrieved my medical records and delivered them to the new facility I’d be using.

The date was set and I was hoping for the best but also knowing that a lot of my family members had suffer and some died from this silent killer. I prepared my self as instructed and drank that nasty, chalking Stuff. The entire gallon. When I came out of the surgery, I was told a large lateral tumor had formed but they could not get it all. I was also told I’d need to have another procedure in six months to check on the tumor and my healing. The time came and I prepared again. This time I was told it would be a year but then soon afterward the surgeon requested that it only be six months again. By now I learned the tumor was benign. But those months passed and I had to drink that stuff and go to have yet another procedure. Again, I was told I’d need to come back in a year. Again, it was changed to six months. I was given a date and I did the prep but when I went to the hospital, I was informed that they did preform that procedure on Saturdays. When I should them the paperwork I was apologized to and then given the prep stuff to return in five days because of the system’s glitch.

When the time passed this time, I was given two of those preps and told it was vital that I drink all off the preps. I did. I was nervous going in wondering why I had to drink two preps. Were they going deeper of what? When I awoke, I was told I did need to come beck for eight years that all the pullups and that tumor was all removed.

During this I discovered that cancer is somehow linked to stress and unresolved anger issues. Many of my followers are in stressful jobs. Some as did I, grew up in less than desirable living conditions where we were not nurtured or loved. This is where my longing for everyone to have a home came from. I also became hyperaware of young people have colon cancer and famous people dying from it during this time.

I will not tell you that I liked the procedure, but I loved the result of do what was needed. I do not believe anyone is cancer free. I believe that killer lays in us waiting for its opportunity to rob us of our chance at life. I do believe that stress and not taking proper care of ourselves cause our early demise. I am not a doctor; I’m a contractor and real estate broker. But I can’t help but think of all we have been robbed of because some have not gone through this procedure. The is a simple plea that you go and get checked before your loved ones are the ones suffering from their loss.
