Cancer Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Quote Men ages 49 to 89 who drank seven or more alcoholic drinks per week at ages 15 to 19 were 3.2 times more likely to develop aggressive prostate cancer, compared with those who didn't drink in adolescence, researchers reported in the journal Cancer Prevention Research. The findings also showed a more than threefold increased risk of aggressive prostate cancer among those with the highest lifetime alcohol intake, compared with those who never drank.

Anecdotally, a good friend who lost his father to Prostate Cancer, had a big scare of his own around the age of 30... and he was a somewhat heavy drinker. He had to give up all alcohol and other things, and it shook him up, badly, as he knew what it had done to his father (who he was really close to). Having more than anecdotal data to back up the alcohol/prostate cancer connection is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I was thinking more about the doctor's finger not the probe, but thanks for adding something extra. But, yeah when my mother has had that, I remember her eating a lot of jello, and me not being able to spend much time in the bathroom for an afternoon. Note: I admit, that thanks to a week-long constipation when I was teenager and them having to "poke" around to make sure of no blockage or whatever, one time. I've probably spent the next quarter century letting myself build an unnatural fear of the ordeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the whole being constipated didn't help matters, because after that long a time, I was feeling pretty rough. Then again, after I sprained my ankle at age 18 (fell off roof, landed on feet) they took my blood pressure at hospital and between that and my pain, I kind of went into freak out mode and nearly passed out. And I get stressed out for years after that when my blood pressure was taken (still do a little, but manageable now) so maybe it is mental. I'll worry about when the time comes, I guess. Colonoscpy? Don't know how'll I get ready for when that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattern Ghost Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 For the colonoscopy, they usually put you into a twilight state for the sedation. You'll basically be high and floaty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Kind of like me after waking up from having my wisdom teeth taken out then, maybe? Of course, when I woke up from that, I tried to escape down the hallway, didn't get far before I was spotted. And everything was spinning too much to speed up the attempt.
