Thumbs up Larry

Thanks for the post. About once a year I go on a tirade about getting a check up. If you were in Nam you WERE exposed Agent Orange and more. Just because you flew home 30+ years ago, we are not out of the woods. Exposure to carcinogens can cause cancer 50 years later. There is no proof that it can cause cancer more than 50 years later because all those people are dead. Dead is not a good thing.

I had not been to see a doctor in seven years before I got sick. When the doctors discovered it was Lymphoma it was already in it?s 3rd stage. 4th stage means you have six months or less to live. As Fred and Hal will tell you, if they can catch it in stage one, your chances are far better.

Besides several of you are truly at risk for butt cancer. Not saying anyone is full of $hit, but you know who you are.

Stay healthy,
Andy
