Time for the five yearly bowel cancer screen, colonoscopy.
So what better coin to share with you....
One colon from Costa Rica

Now show me your colons (keep it to the coins please).
I suppose you'd use latex gloves for that one rather than the cotton ones.
I have a kolon (http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/90176245/) that's under my chair. I slip off it all the time.

I keep cutting my toes on her kolon (http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/90176245/).
Did you ever consider investing in a pair of shoes?

No shoes allowed inside in our house. And to make matters worse you need to drag me kicking and screaming to put on socks and shoes (and long pants for that matter).

You have a killer kolon too.
OK, I'll show my ignorance.

Wouldn't be big enough for me Mate.
I Zoom the desk chair between my desk and coins on a regular basis.
I NEED a bigger kolon :laugh2:
The mind boggles!
we aren't allowed to have kolans at work
the chairs fly off them when pple push themselves back etc
nice coin there
yes, I did my 5 years check up late last year
not nice but a valuable & often lifesaving test to get
Quote from: 'Triggersmob' pid='40047' dateline='1390179909'Now show me your colons
ok...
:So I'm not the only one in shorts and bare feet, with one of those floor protector thingies under the chair, eh? No danger of flying off anywhere though, the castors have dug themselves little foxholes to hide in. ;)

Back in another five years I guess.

Cool great news Mate , then you should be up to making the Perth ANDA Show Mate :)

I think you need plenty of money to spend to enjoy those shows.
I attended one in Perth a few years ago and it didn't do much for me.
Budget might be even tighter now, just found out our little Jack Russell has Stage III cancer. :(
oh poor doggie :(
not sure how they stage doggies
but III sounds high
I feel for you, having just had to make that tough call recently with our little terrier (Jack Russell + chi-wow-wa + foxie cross = 'cane field ratter')
I still have her little pooch bed set-up in my bedroom - it sort of belongs there after 16 years of furry friendship from the old girl
Sorry to hear that Steve.
Thanks guys.
Our dog is only 7 years old, still young really.
Stage III is the highest level in dogs.
We have yet to take him to an oncologist to find out more details.
Hopefully there is still hope.
Sorry to hear that Steve :(
Hi Steve
Doggies can get the same types of cancers and the same types of treatments that us humans get
Sometimes the costs are prohibitive
other times, simple surgery and wait and see is enough
one of our dogs had breast cancer and had surgery on that
I reassured her that she still had 7 other boobies left, so there was no need to worry about her body image!
she still lived for quite a few more years after the surgery
That's tough news Steve. Fingers crossed for you and your doggie.
He just had a big lump removed from his leg.
That was sent off to the lab to be checked and that's how they realised he had the cancer.
We are hoping it was isolated to the lump and that enough was removed.
sometimes dogs (and people) just a single lump (or mass) and it can be contained within it's own little secured area and a procedure like a lumpectomy does the trick
let's hope so for you doggie!
Thanks Robbiegal, I shall remain optimistic.
