Heard Cancer Described In a Differernt Way...Kinda Funny Though.....

...As many here already know I am facing colon surgery soon because of 3 very suspicious polyps that have cells consistent with developing cancer.

Anyhow yesterday my surgeon describe my situation in an interesting,funny but yet engaging way... He described the cells I have that have Dysplasia in the following way.... He said it is a a cell-s that have turned into psychopaths but yet haven't turned into outlaws(cancer)..my wife and I found that kinda an interesting but yet easy way to understand what is going on.

Thought I would share that with you.

1. Here's hoping that your cells become reformed psychopaths before breaking any laws.

Wishing you a successful surgery, a speedy recovery and healthy outcome. We're pulling for you!

2. Sounds like they caught the polyps early. Yay!

Did you ever see those PSAs for colon cancer? They had actors dressed up as polyps with surgeons chasing them. It was an effective and entertaining reminder for screening. Wish you a speedy recovery.

3. My polyps were snipped

out when I had a colonoscopy. Wonder why yours weren't.
