Speaking of helping others, have all you guys over 40 had a colonoscopy yet?
Yup....and the hype was a bunch of unnecessary rhetoric.......it's about the easiest thing you can have done....
Also, how many guys over 40 are getting an annual physical including a prostate exam......the killer cancer for most men???
How is karen bret?
Under 40 but been going for annual checkups since year 1.. Some benefits to growing up under socialism.. You develop certain habits that cut down on the healthcare costs in the long run :D

He's a first grader.
I don't know anything right now as we've just found out.
The wife and I are just at a loss.
Man, that's cruel JP.....
After all the stupidity that I've inflicted on myself over the years....the ONLY thing that still panics me and shakes me to the bone with fear.....is the threatened health of my family....
Definitely not fair.....for all you guys in Canada, you can sign up on the bone marrow registry when you donate blood....it's easy and should I ever get the call, I'll be stiffing customers to donate....
Not sure how it works in the USA but I'm sure you guys can register and get signed up pretty easy to donate either blood and/or marrow....this is an unbelievable gift....
Jp, the survival rates, depending on the type of Leukemia, are 60 to 75%. My bet is that he gets through this.
My friend Steve Goodman, the Chicago folk musician, lived to age 36. He sometimes referred to himself as "Cool Hand Leuk."
