Just had one. No big deal. I am 19 yrs late. 2 polyps. Removed. No cancer. Had 5 cysts (fatty) removed in 2 operations. No cancer. Had a growth removed last Friday. Get info on it this week. Anticipate no cancer. He said it was like a wart.
All this because I had a navel hernia that needed repair.
As most know I had open heart surgery and valve repair because I was feeling "bum" and had trouble breathing at night about 8 years ago. Told if I had a problem at work that I would not make it. Too far to the nearest hospital. I cancelled work for the first and only time , to this date since Sept 1, 1982.
When you are self employed, you do not call in sick.
Go see the Doctor, guys. It might just save your life.
I am glad this summer is over, though.
Thank you, David, for the reminder of how fragile life can be, regardless of how tough we think we are.
