The older you get the more you are on your own. I had a colonsotomy a couple of years ago and my doctor commented: "you will never get another one you are too old."

I have not told him to go to hell yet but the day is coming soon!!

Doctors don’t seem to want to help old people. My mom’s doctor dropped her because she wanted a second opinion. In some ways she’s lucky. One sister’s husband passed away and she came to live with Mom. The other sister divorced hers and parked a big camper in Mom’s yard and she lives in that. I’m an hour away so that helps me a lot. I have an 82 year old husband that can’t remember if he ate lunch so I stick close to home. Mom is only 5 years older than my husband so it would push me to be both places if needed. Both of my brothers live in the same town as Mom too. Doctors have given up on her.

I assume that’s colonoscopy. I had mine as recommended in my 50’s and said I’d never have another one. Nothing was found so I was supposed to do it again in 10 years. No family history. In fact, no history of cancer in my family anywhere except for skin. Anyway, my doctor started nagging at me last year so I did that Cologuard test. Came back negative. That one has to be done every 3 years but it’s so easy and not invasive.
