I had a colonoscopy Friday and the Dr says there is a “large” ulcerated mass nearly blocking the stigmoid colon. Supposedly going to request an urgent CT scan but it took 3 months for a colonoscopy after a positive FIT test so I have very little faith in that really happening quickly. i had uterine cancer in 2010 - I have…

Dear Moderators WHO is just as important as WHAT so please make WHO much bigger!

The New Board....et al
Hi all. I don't really use mobile for the board, so while I appreciate the attempt at modernization it's not really helping.

I reply on an accurate 'Last Active' when I post my Birthday greetings, as I always check to see when a member has been last on the forum. If it is past one year, then I do not post a Birthday…
