    Firstly I wish your Dad all the best.

    Someone I work with has just got over bowel cancer (chemo, radiotherapy & op) and a good friend has prostrate cancer.
    Seems that there are a number of options with prostrate cancer. Op, robot op, gold seeds and radiotherapy and my friend is undergoing another treatment that should keep him going until he's at least 85.

    The important thing as we get older is that we get regular checkups. I had a colonoscopy recently and they removed a polyp which was non cancerous. I then found out that over the age of 50 it's suggested that you have a colonoscopy every few years.
    The procedure is straightforward the preparation is a PITA (literally).

    Blokes don't talk about this sort of stuff. The chap I work with was discussing his bowel cancer procedures with some of his friends and several then had colonoscopies, two are now undergoing surgery !

    Great thread gents, it's such a positive thing that you are all so open about it. As blokes we are terrible at discussing this kind of thing..

    I'm only 28 but once you see the people around you have health scares you realise pretty quickly that you're not bulletproof.
    I will make it a priority to go and get checked out I think!

    The fish oil study was an eye opener, I take 6g/day as I'm extremely active so I was trying to look after my joints and CV system. You can't win!

    All right. Lets get one thing absolutely clear here.
    I do not want any more talk of old folks 'going at it like like rabbits' (vomit in own mouth)!
    Everyone knows that ones parents and therefore by default, all old folk, only ever had sex for procreation....no other reason .
    The mere thought of it causes me to self medicate.

    Hahahaaaaaa very funny Ralph, just wait'll you're an old geezer and you'll be happy to think you're still bonking . I've got a joke about an old bloke bonking if anyone wants to hear it.
    I work with a bloke (56 years old) who was to have a colonoscopy and he's walking around banging on about "no one's sticking anything up my bum, blah, blah, blah" and I said to him "it's simple, have a colonoscopy and live or don't and risk dying - your choice". He was gobsmacked but then had one.
