Then. God forbid, you need to "drink the stuff" again to have those polyps removed. No thank you. I'd choose to only have to do that once.

Gini, good for your friend! Yes men are the worst culprits when it comes to taking care of their health. Your friend is an inspiration and, yes, I can relate to him sitting on the floor in the bathroom. As I said before, you don't want to go too far after drinking that stuff.

I, too, lost a friend to colon cancer. It then spread to her kidneys. She died two months before her daughter was to give birth to her little granddaughter. She was 54.
