Capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot is an evolutionary filter designed to punish mammals and reward birds. Mammals feel it as pain because mammal digestion destroys seeds. Birds don’t have the receptor that detects it, so they eat the fruit, fly off, and deposit the seeds far from the plant from which they […]

OK, I’m trying to decide what to do next month. I am 75 and will turn 76 in November. Three years ago I had a colonoscopy with three adenomas three years before that I also had a colonoscopy with three adenomas.
It has been three years since my last colonoscopy I saw the Gastroenterologist and he recommended one more colonoscopy. I hesitated and said I wanted to think about it and I’m wondering if it is worth the risk I’m a very difficult person to do a colonoscopy on because I’m so tiny and so thin also I have to stop my blood thinners and my age the laxatives and the electrolyte disturbance and the dizziness are risk factors.
At this point, I have a colonoscopy scheduled for the end of June along with a gastroscopy because I’ve had structures in the past no symptoms at this point, but generally when I get the colonoscopy, they do the upper at the same time so I’m trying to decide whether to keep the appointment that I scheduled in June or to just say I’m finished with colonoscopies
Nobody in my family has ever had colon cancer but my father had prostate cancer and my mother had breast cancer. Any recommendations from an actuary point of view? And a medical point of view?
I don’t want to skip some test that could save my life. I’d like to live as long as possible as long as I’m physically, healthy, and mentally sound but I wonder with colon cancer if at my age I would even undergo treatment. I don’t think I would want to spend my final years recovering from major surgery, undergoing chemo and radiation so I’m not sure whether it’s worth it to get it done about the only reason I can think of is if they remove some polyps this time those polyps can’t grow into cancer in any new polyps might take more than 10 years to become cancer. I don’t know. I’m just babbling. Any thoughts?
