How come.

Your sister saved the life of her boyfrend by recognising there was blood in the stool and he went to the doctor and had cancer removed.

[Herr-Berbunch]

I missed it but if it's a sound warning of someone's health issues then I don't see a problem with it, and I can't see Neal or any of the moderating team having one either. Even if one person reads it and notices something different then it's got to be worth posting.

your first post, made me wonder if the stoy was unfitted for this forum or if it was to long ? I want to tell the story as my sister told it to me.

Or did I somehow misunderstood what you meant ?

Here are the the whole story I removed before(if not suitable for GT please remove)

Two notice before I start writing this story

I'm very bad at writing dialogs-If I could I would have written books


The story happens about 2009.


Instead I'll make my sister speak, meaning every word inside the quotes are her speaking and words inside (are my words) and what I can remember

(Remember-it is my sister speaking) and it can for some be disgusting to read


Me and my boyfriend had been together for some month, mostly we had been at my place or in town. I had been at his place now and then and this was the first time I had to be at his place a whole afternoon, he needed help with his curtain(my elder sister is pro when it comes to curtains) after I was finished, I had to leave, not for home though, had to do some shopping, before I left my boyfriends home, I had to visit the bathroom.


I didn't finish my doings I left the bathroom went strait to the living room where he and his friend was sitting and watching Tour De France(it is big in Denmark-like Super Bowl)


Which of you two was the last person at the toilet ? No response


Ahoy I asked you a question-which one of you two was the last visiting the toilet.


My boyfriends friend looked at me, saying why, have one of us forgot to flush the toilet ?

Was it you then ? I asked him and my boyfriends friend, no haven't visit N.N's toilet. Since I came some hours ago.


I turned my attention to my boyfriend-N.N, have you been on the toilet ?


N.N looked at my saying:


Yes and I'm so sorry if I forgot to flushed the toilet.


(my sister)-N.N, I want you to take your phone and call your doctor and get an appointment ASAP
My boyfriend and his friend looked at me and smiled. And my boyfriends friend said


Women they are sometimes funny.


My boyfriend then said- Why should I call my doctor and get an appointment ASAP-I feel alright
(my sister) Have you looked into the toilet ? I guess you had to drop some "dirt" last time you where there.


My boyfriend looked at me, and said, OK I forgot to use the toilet brush sorry


(my sister) that's not the problem, I think you should go and lift the toilet seat and take a look.


The boyfriend said, tell me then what is the problem.


(my sister) OK, it is a lot of blood in the toilet.


N.N turned white when I said those words, N.N take you phone and call your doctor.
He was shaking all over when he tried to phone his doctor.


(My sister) Let me dial the number for you, but you have to speak to the doctor for your self





End of my sister story


It turned out that my elder sisters boyfriend had cancer in his whole stomach-they had to remover most of his colon and small intestine. Today he has a stomi.


The doctor said to him, if he had waited 2-3 month it would have been to late. And the doctor also said, 99 % of us is doing it wrong when we visit the toilet- after we have dropped some "dirt" the doctor also said there are 2-4 types of cancer in the stomach who doesn't give pain until it is to late-the only sign is blood in and around the "dirt" this is the first sign.


I tried to remember as much as I could and I could have put some extra words into the text, which isn't my elder sister words

Have reposted it.

The original post looks fine.

[Betonov]

Right, I think you may have understood my post as sarcasm :hmmm:

No, I actually sincerely thanked you for pointing out this story because myself had a few instances when there was blood when I wipped my behind after the deed.
I always brushed it of as maybe delicate skin in that area or badly digested food and I don't have it anymore since I started being a lot more active and living healthier.

Still it's a good heads up to look for these things. Could he a summer rash, could be cancer :o

[Herr-Berbunch]

Thanks Markus. A story we should all listen to. Men in particular seem to ignore things different with their bodies, I am guilty of this but sometimes I do occasionally go to get things checked. Luckily for me it's all been nothing so far.

OK OK, here we go: Man comes home from the doctor: "That was awful. I had to give a urine, fecal and sperm sample". Wife: "why did not you just give him your old brown cord jacket that you keep wearing each and every day?"- Seriously, visible blood in the stool very likely means haemorrhoids, "not visible blood" could mean cancer, for that test you need to send stool samples to the laboratory where they use chemicals to find that out. You see, I am not only bricklayer but also a proctologIst.

I'm not any expert in this field.

It could have been a smaller things like haemorrhoids but his case-it was cancer. well developed. It must have started with very litte blood.

Edit- most of his stomach was removed he was on the operation table for several hours(can't remember how many)

Me neither. I am no proctologist nor am I bricklayer. But I am 40+ (of age) and I do get a medical check-up "for free" each year because I have a health insurance which I pay for. They will remove part of my thyroid in the hospital soon because they found a cold thyroid nodule which has a 5 to 10 % chance to turn out to be cancer. Thank you health care system.

Here in Denmark every person who reach the age of 50 gets a free exam they get some stuff send by the mail and they have to take an example from their "doings" and send it back to be investigated.

I have after my brother-in-law(we call him that today, no they aren't married) done an exam my self-in addition to chronic gastritis, I also have a hernia in the lower part of my esophagus, but otherwise my stomach is OK.

I had before this exam a talk with my own doctor and he said

Most of those who go to they doctors after they have found blood in they "doings" are to late. So he told me it was, due to my age, important that I kept and eye on my "doings" and not just do my job and leave the mens room.

Something similar is done in my area of the UK and is called 'The Well Man Clinic'.

[Betonov]

I can get a free exam anytime, as long as I have a note from the doctor.
The older I get, the more times the doctor will prescribe one.
Even at my thirties, I'm long overdue for one :hmmm:

I can see I made my self a little unclear-

It is free with no cost to visit your doctors or a specialist-In Denmark. By automatic every male person who reach the age of 50 gets a "invitation"

Had to remove the story it was not for this forum.

Thanks for posting it. It is a warning that if you see differences, have it checked by a qualified physician. Even if you think it's relatively minor. You know yourselves better than anyone.


Herr-Berbunch makes a good point as well.

Thanks for the information.

No not at all, you came across as clear as crystal. I receive an 'invitation' every six months via the postal system but as yet, to my shame and stupidity, I have yet to go.

A last post

Two thing saved my brother-in-laws life

1. Tour De France
2. My elder sister visit him at that day and had to visit the bathroom.

I've reached that age where the only solution is the entire removal of my gov't. The only way I'll feel better. :03:
