    Funny this thread popped up just now. Sitting in the parking lot while my wife gets a colonoscopy completed and got me thinking I should get checked. One of those "if I ain't broke I ain't visiting the doctor" guys. Should probably find a primary care doctor first.

    Occasional DR visits = changing the fluids in your Tundra! Some maintenance and inspections are required..and none are fun.

    I see my oncologist this coming Tuesday for my 3 month checkup. Last fall during my annual physical it was determined that I've developed A-fib. Finally saw my cardiologist last week and he confirmed the A-fib. Today I'm getting a cardiovision/TEE procedure done. Basically going verify whether I have any clots near the valves then zap my heart to bring the valves back into sync. Fun times!!!

    Good luck with your test procedures and if needed repairs. My wife had PVC diagnostic a couple years ago. She did the heart ablation operation. It required a second visit and she was confirmed to be PVC free after her month checkup. After 3 months she got Covid and it affected her heart. The cardiologist said it was Covid, she was having some Afib issues. Scary situation for sure. It’s been a couple months now and the Afib and elevated heart rate has gone away. Note: her Apple Watch was giving her notifications of her Afib. Those watches are worth their money imo.
    I have PVC but at a low rate. Actually common for a lot of people. If more than 5% of time then worry. I’ve not had issues with Afib(yet).

    I got lucky, in a sense. It doesn't run in my family; and PSA was good, so both my wife (a nurse) and my doctor said I can just go the Cologuard route. (Aka "poop-in-da-box")

    Yes, my wife has had perfect blood pressure also. And she and I have had the 2 regular and 3 booster jabs. Genetics has a lot to do with it. Her dad passed at 57. We’re in our 70s now. (Note: my BP has been good also. She make me eat healthy).

    I have a lot more energy today. I've been getting tired a bit the last several months. Going to sleep earlier than usual too. Now I know why..:thumbsup:

    At UCHealth for my 3 month followup with my oncologist. Bloodwork first then over to the doc. I'll be filling him in about the three heart surgerys I've had. Won't he be surprised. Ha!

    Thanks Bill. I anticipate things to be OK except for the Lupron shot in the butt.

    Bloodwork panel results are excellent overall. PSA only 0.02. Barely measurable which is what we want. Lupron butt shot next. Fun times here.:smokertransformer:

    So I just saw this thread and have not read all the comments but, if you are 45 you need to have your colonoscopy scheduled as soon as possible. I am 60 and was diagnosed with colon cancer at 54. I was fortunate it had not spread but just a few more months and I would have been screwed! Had it robotically removed successfully and did not do chemo as suggested because it was contained. Went 5 years with good testing and results then in September my CEA shot up and low and behold baseball size tumor in my abdomen at my surgical site! Had it removed, this surgery hurt guys, and just finished 8 rounds of chemo. Will be followed for the next 3 years again. Please, Please do not put off PSA or Colon testing. An ounce of prevention beats the crap out of 2 surgeries and about $20k in expense. By the way I did not do my colonoscopy at 50 as was recommended several years ago. The freak doctor said he would schedule one if I wanted and proceeded to say he never had one and wouldn't. That is all I need as a hardheaded male. That almost killed me! Now they say 45. Take your hardheaded ass in and get it done!!!! PLEASE!

    Colon cancer as well at 52. Stage 1 and my colon was a wreck so they advised to remove it last August. Thought I was good to go!

    NOW Stage III esophagus cancer!! So ALWAYS get you upper GI checked out when you do your lower! If they don’t ask you need to tell them! Do BOTH!

    At another 90 day followup right now. Bloodwork quite normal. PSA <0.1
    I'm liking these short followup posts. :thumbsup:
