Cancer Screening

[Rolfe]

I’ve always been confused about that sort of thing. Why are lobotomies carried out in the head ?

Lobotomies were carried out by shoving an ice pick up the nose. And I'm not even joking.

Ha ha eh ? No that’s fine my sinuses just cleared spontaneously thanks.

That laxative is Dynamite stay close to your loo

All prepped ready, reading material in place, 'wet wipes' at the ready and a radio in situ . Wednesday is T-36 so start of prep.

Really?

That's not what my specialist told me. Is that a new procedure?

This was the 'new' procedure that I had. It's not as bad as it looks and I'm glad I didnt see the video before I had the procedure.

WARNING - Graphic content.

Look - I can’t cross my legs any tighter. I’m just a coward OK ?

Whats the alternative? It's a bit like the COVID jabs when people said 'Not for me, I don't like needles' I pointed them towards an intubation video which was the alternative.

You can ask for it to be done under general anaesthetic but local is the norm.
Still hurts though

I found the anaesthetic was the most painful part, it was rapid injections and intense pain for a few seconds.

Ah yes the Covid jabs are in the arm and usually the flu shot in the other arm - Never missed any of them. Don’t worry - I’m a brave wee soldier really - If I need to be

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Slightly different tack, still on the theme of cancer and inspired by the audio track above. Here's another one, wear sunscreen :-

Oh what joy.

We’re all with you sir - not in person as we’re a bunch of cowards - but trust it all goes well. Personally I can’t get over the image of the guy in the lift with the CO2.
May your medics be kind.

@johnb80 - at least there’s different flavours……

Wish I hadn’t watched that video @johnb80

@johnb80 - I hope all goes well tomorrow. We’ll all be thinking about you.

@johnb80 - at least there’s different flavours……

Very true but I wasnt offered the steak and onions or salt and vinegar options.

@johnb80 - I hope all goes well tomorrow. We’ll all be thinking about you.

Thank you, 16:30 is kick off.

Wish I hadn’t watched that video @johnb80

I did put a warning LOL, amazing how brutal we can be.

Had yearly scan and they found a tumour in my bladder. Long and short of it put the camera down my pipe and cut it out sprayed it with Chemo, No pain BUT, when they removed the camera mild discomfort but when removing the tripod wow did that hurt for about 1 week. It was like pi55ing through broken glass. Been for 2 check ups and all clear. Ask them to remove the cafeteria slowly it makes a difference no pain when peeing.

Worth it though. Good result.

Tripod?

Cafeteria?

Cafeteria?

I thought I had missed a page there too. The tripod could be a factor in the discomfort.
I’m hoping the other was a catheter and nothing to do with Americano.

 

[Rolfe]

I had it done years ago, total false alarm. It really wasn't all that bad, and the scan itself was no problem. I think they gave me a sedative but it didn't seem to have any effect. I felt a bit off later in the day but that was all.

Stage 1 complete, Plenvu is not too bad tasting, slightly syruppy and sickly sweet to drink, it definitely does its job. Second dose this morning with 'Summer Fruits' flavour.
