Firefly, I am not trying to make it personal or anything, but your familial predisposition for ?colon? cancer is rare in itself, and the reason why Fotze has very likely no history. True it is not rare in
your family, but relative to the general population under age 50 to which the overwhelming majority of us belong, it sure as heck is.
The figure that 50% of the population will get cancer is wrong, and out of context. More reliable studies estimate a lifetime prevalence of about 33%, but this is averaged across healthy individuals and those at higher risk (ie. smokers, familial history such as yourself). Cancer is a biological inevitability for all
if you live long enough, but many of us die from other sources (ie. atherosclerosis in the old, trauma in the young) before onset. Secondly, the most common forms of cancer in males are lung cancer (which is highly preventable) and prostatic cancer (which is associated with increased age). Are these groups applicable to Fotze, and is the generalized statistic of 33% applicable to Fotze? Again, assuming his history is pretty standard, I am confident in saying NO.
But Yes I agree, the more he goes, the less anxiety he has. We should all go periodically, if not just to maintain a relationship with a GP when we finally need one.
