The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

My poor hanging baskets have taken a real bashing in thus heat. Even though we watered them well they have wilted. Hopefully they will pick up again after another dousing of water

That is the reason I've never had hanging baskets. They are lovely but need constant watering.

They are a PITA!

Does that mean you can't get bowel cancer when you are over 75?

The argument is the standard follow up procedure of a colonoscopy carries risks to those aged 75+ either from the investigation or the general anaesthetic. I declined a GA and had gas and air.

There's also the suggestion bowel cancel is slow to develop and life-expectancy may be shorter than the illness takes to develop. My wife would disagree. Diagnosed in autumn '24 she now has stage 4 terminal bowel cancer.

Me? I'm on a trial with an annual voluntary colonoscopy. I'm happy to take every screening I can get!!
