What You Can Do To Help Stay Alive

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Tomorrow morning I'm having a little medical
procedure that takes about half an hour, but
it can save your life, and that's why I'm writing
about it today.

It's called a colonoscopy.

If you are a male over forty five, you should
definitely have this procedure done. It's painless,
and it only takes up about half a work day from
start to finish.

When you have the procedure the doctor is
looking for polyps, or growths of any kind, and
if he finds them, he removes them. He takes
them out so they cannot continue to grow, or
become cancerous.

Colon cancer is a killer. Recently it took Tony
Snow. Back about 20 years ago it took Katie
Couric's husband, and he was only a hair or two
past 45. And every day it takes people that aren't
famous.

Men tend to put off seeing the doctor. They like
to tough things out. But when your opponent is
cancer, you're gonna have a helluva fight on
your hands, and it will make this simple procedure
well worth the little bit of inconvenience you will be
subjected too.

Don't put this off. If your are 45 or older and
you haven't had this done, you are gambling
with your life, and the odds aren't stacked on
your side of the table. Every year that you put
it off raises the stakes.

Find a good doctor, and give their office a call now.

From the big saddle,

Jim Whelan
The Chairman of the Board

P.S. I'm serious, you can find the name of a
top notch doctor in less than half an hour.
This is just one of those things you have
to do now, not later.
