R.I.P. Mr. Andretti.... I just got tested couple months ago, sent in a specimin sample to the hospital. Came back negative (luckily) Everyone over 40 should have some kind of test done for this awful disease.

I posted a thread about 3 years ago about the importance of getting a colonoscopy for people in that age range. I DIDN'T. I turned 56 today and have been getting chemo every two weeks for a little over 3 years. Colon cancer metastasized to liver and lungs. No cure as of today, just treatment.
GET THE TEST DONE!
Rest in peace Mr. Andretti.

John Andretti was one of my driver's when Dodge came back to Nascar in 2001. I remember watching every race those next few seasons...Dave Blaney, Robbie Gordon, Ward Burton, Buckshot Jones, Bill Elliot, Kyle Petty, Stacey Compton, Sterling Marlin, Casey Atwood, John Andrett...it was a lot of fun rooting for those underdogs especially when my extended family was die hard Chevy nuts. It was easy to be a fan back then. RIP #checkitforandretti

PSA I have stage 3 colon cancer, and like some of you I put off getting a colonoscopy.
I had colon surgery in August and surgeon is confident he got it all. Chemo because 1 lymph node out of 22 checked had cancer. Surgery wasn't bad, chemo sucks. I get chemo every other Monday for 4 hours and then I have a pump with more chemo for 46 hours. So basically 50 hours of chemo every other week and feel like crap for 5 days, for 6 months ...
GET THE EFFING COLONOSCOPY... Colonoscopy is NOTHING, drink some stuff, poop your brains out for a few hours. Next day you go in, they give you sleepy meds and you get to take the best 1/2 hour nap you ever had. Way better to catch it early.
JUST DO IT...
