I don't have cancer at the moment.

Will need to check again in November.

So....that's good....

I mean...not the checking again part...that gives it a feel of inevitability.

I imagine some people just don't have the need to check. I'd brag about that.

Somebody brag about "I don't have cancer and I never even thought about looking!"

Hoping they don’t find anything in my blood but pretty sure they will schedule me for a colonoscopy while there.

Good luck, T.

Colonscopies are a dream...except for the pre-week diet.

The stuff they make you drink the day before didn't hit me the way they made the "bring a book to the bathroom" advice made it sound.

Plus, you get knocked out and it's over before you know it. That is always the freakiest experience.

"Hey, Dr. Ken, did you watch the Cubs last night? Yeah...it was great the way they....zzzzzzz.......----It's over now?"

Great news. I’m going to the doctor in two weeks for the first time in over 2 years. Hoping they don’t find anything in my blood but pretty sure they will schedule me for a colonoscopy while there.

Yeah I am 45 and they just moved the recommended age to start getting them from 50 down to 45. My dad passed of prostate cancer that spread to other parts of his body. By the time they caught it, too late for a surgical option.
Good luck with your visit. Hope it's clean. I'm sure a colonoscopy is in my future, too. I haven't had one yet and I'm mid 50s so someone is going to ask if/when I had my last one. With an answer of never had one, pretty sure that's my invitation for one.

Good luck to you both.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Dr. Ken Jr. II - I’ve been talking about him here for 15 years.

He and his brother often had conversations on the board with me acting in what I thought was a manner far more cynical and mature than their years would have indicated.

He was named outstanding science student of his high school graduating class and a bunch of other stuff.

Am I allowed to do one of those weird Twitter videos where he announces he’s going to UofI after we hear about his journey?

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

I hope none of you have ass cancer.

Congratulations on your son's achievements! That's awesome.

And I'm glad you are cancer-free.

Sorry about his choice for college, though. That's...unfortunate.

I hope he doesn’t do the hat switch.

Good luck to you both.

We were hoping he chose a school that was excellent for engineering, expensive, and provided no scholarship money for in-state kids.

Good to hear that Dr. Ken

EDIT - a joke.

+an emphatic 1

Only if he has a UofI, Kansas and Missouri hat on a table, he goes to pick up either the Mizzou or Kansas hat, then does a fake and licks up the UofI hat.

Congrats! What’s he studying? I got my chemistry degree from there. Prepped me well for the rest of my career that has spanned 32 years.

Also if you fuck someone like they are a millionaire they might go try to be one.

Our oldest is there now and graduating next year in physics. The new guy is going to be in mechanical engineering.
