Josef’s Life Saving Medical Test
A Life Saving Medical Test
Josef was going for a physical in May. Prior to his appointment it was arranged for him to do blood work and a stool sample with the FIT test. When the stool sample revealed blood, his doctor and the clinic support nurse called him in early, a week before the appointment. The doctor said due to the blood in his stool, he required a colonoscopy. This was arranged within a week. The results indicated a polyp of concern, surgery was scheduled within a few weeks. Four to 5 inches of colon was removed, the section with a cancerous polyp. He was released from hospital within 2 days and back to work within 6 weeks.
Josef was overly pleased with the care that he received. The whole system worked so well together- click, click click. It was unreal!
Josef’s recommendation to everyone is, “Do not hesitate to do the tests your doctor recommends. Guys might not carry through as much, especially with tests like stool samples. I am sure glad that I carried through- it saved my life!”
