Unfortunately, both my wife and I are not "doctor people."
HOWEVER, she was not feeling well and I convinced her to get checked out. After a colonoscopy was completed it was determined that she had colo-rectal cancer. She has just finished radiation and chemo treatments and this Thursday (11/29) we visit the surgeon to see how much was shrunk and when he will perform the surgery to remove it.

Actually, all seems to look good - we hope!

We had to cancel our Lifestyle Preview in October but have re-booked for January. Hopefully all will be right by then.

OH - the reason for this post - I am 62 and have never had a colonoscopy.
As soon as my wife is well, I will be booking my first one !!!!
