My mom’s doing fine, thanks for asking! One of the only advantages of having an ileostomy is that her body processes everything so quickly that she can house insane amounts of food. I have watched this woman, 5’2” and 110lbs, just absolutely demolish a 4 lb chimichanga.

yeah, ileostomy sounds rough :(i'm really glad to hear she's doing okay though.

Doing great, thanks for asking. Feeling strong, gained back the 10+ lbs I lost during treatment plus another 5 or so that I could stand to lose (I guess the time for celebratory eating is over). Markers are good and hopefully I won't need re-treatment for another 5 or 10 years. :)

Well done to everyone giving cancer a good fucking. Here’s another good news story: my mum was diagnosed with bowel cancer ten years ago this month after she did the ‘poo test’ the NHS sent her in the post. They caught it so early she only needed surgery, and has been cancer free ever since. Don’t be squeamish people, scoop your poop into that sample tube when they ask you to, get it done!
― Madchen, Wednesday, 21 February 2024 18:03 (three months ago) link
Holy cow that’s a great service. I’ve never heard of a mail in poo test in America, unsolicited. Or it would probably be some pervert soliciting poo samples and not my profit-driven insurance company.
― B. Amato (Boring, Maryland), Wednesday, 21 February 2024 19:47 (three months ago) link
Not unsolicited, but you can do the mail test through Ex@ct Sciences.
― Jordan s/t (Jordan), Wednesday, 21 February 2024 19:58 (three months ago) link
You get one every couple of years after a certain age, good old universal healthcare.https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/bowel-cancer-screening/
― Madchen, Wednesday, 21 February 2024 20:50 (three months ago) link
i had no idea about this. I'm quite stunned that neither of my parents has taken the opportunity to recount this experience to me!
― kinder, Thursday, 22 February 2024 13:48 (three months ago) link
I just did the poo test a few weeks ago. It's pretty great when you can shit in a box and then MAIL THAT BOX to someone, and it's all legit. I pretended mine was going to Mar-A-Lago.
― henry s, Thursday, 22 February 2024 13:51 (three months ago) link
Gd news abt yr mum Madchen. Yes, compulsory poo tests over the age of fifty here in Scotland. I always say a half-remembered limerick when I post mine off ...There was an old man from Newcastle/Who used to send shit in a parcel ...
All clear so far.
― Ward Fowler, Thursday, 22 February 2024 13:55 (three months ago) link
Compulsory?
― Tim, Thursday, 22 February 2024 14:06 (three months ago) link
That may be the wrong word. I think they do chase you up if you haven't sent one in though.
― Ward Fowler, Thursday, 22 February 2024 14:08 (three months ago) link
That’s vg. I did my first of these a few months ago without being chased so I don’t know whether it’s the same here (bet it’s not as good). Glad I didn’t get an enforcement visit from the poo squad.

was recently made aware cancer finds your tonsils hospitable. just in case you thought parts of your body were safe.
anyway, big yep, that prognosis hit one of my family members.
