  1. A few weeks ago I had a colonoscopy and five polyps were removed from me. One of those polyps contained cancerous cells. Thankfully, the cancer cells were isolated to the polyp. If that polyp wasn’t removed it would have evolved into colorectal cancer.

    I dodged a bullet and I’m sharing this very personal news because I want to encourage you to be present to and intentional with your health. Cancer doesn’t care that you’re generally quite healthy. Cancer doesn't care if you have no family history of rogue cells. Cancer isn't personal.

    Monitor yourself for unusual bumps, cysts and pains. Talk to a doctor about these things. When cancer cells are caught early lives are extended.

  2. Not every cancer screening is risk‑free. Screenings save lives, but no test is perfect:
    ❌ False negatives → missed cancers
    ❌ False positives → stress + extra tests
    ❌ Overdiagnosis → treatment you didn’t need
    ❌ Side effects → rare but real

    The strongest choices come from balance, knowledge & open conversations with your doctor.

  3. I received a letter in the mail on the last day of postal service from Ontario Health. The letter contains a kit for colorectal cancer testing. At that point, I had no idea Canada Post would be going on strike. It's only because someone on Mastodon mentioned the strike that I knew it was happening. Shouldn't there be notifications for this kind of thing?

    It's a good thing I found out about the strike or my poop sample would still be sitting in a mailbox.

    In case you've never received one of these cancer screening kits, be advised that the enclosed postage-paid envelopes aren't peel-and-stick. What sort of monster decided lick-and-stick envelopes were the best choice for fecal samples?
