I am also very protective of my prostate gland. Believer in the theory
of "leave well enough alone!"

write that down somewhere so they can engrave it on your headstone.


You know, RCE's statement and John's response bring up the subject of more
life at any price. I'm not sure that each of us must avail themselves of
every medical procedure and medication available in order to get more days
checked off on the calendar. For some, every extra day, by whatever means,
is the desired end. For others, maybe every good day, with limited medical
intervention, until the end is the desire. I think, though, that everyone
should be informed as to their options and the consequences of opting in or
out. The rest seems to be a matter of personal choice. So, I guess I'm pro
choice when it comes to this end of life issue. Me, I suffer the prostate
exam and the colonoscopy when my doc offers. I'll use the information
gleaned from those exams to decide my next steps. One more good day on the
water is one more good day on the water!

ive been poked and prodded more in the last ten yeras and there are
somethings i just aint gonna do.

Are you saying you won't have a colonoscopy or a prostate exam, or both?

aint gonna do no colonoscopy - uh uh - no way.

Now John, don't be too judgmental. They probably read the same report I
saw. I think it was in Soldier of Fortune, or Tough Guy's Weekly, or one of
those manly periodicals. Seems that if you let a doctor (or anyone else,
for that matter) stick any kind of probe up your butt there's a 57% chance
you'll turn queer. Can't be too careful......... :-)

Since my colonoscopy, I *have* thought several of you were pretty cute!
