[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 737936, member: 16761"] He texted me yesterday that he thinks he has colon cancer. Now, after dealing with several cancer deaths in my family and scares from myself and other family members, I can't get worked up over a self diagnosis. Anyone who lives long enough just can't. But seeing that his father did have a precancerous polyp when he was 25 and had had to have regular colonoscopies since, he probably needs to be looked at. But it feels like manipulation. I don't think we have ever talked about his dad's issues with him and we have never really bothered or worried him with any of our health issues (he's never been very empathetic to us, just his friends and pets), but you never know what kids pick up on. He made an appointment for Friday at my advice and I need to just leave it there. But my mind still goes to what-if scenarios that I'm trying to fight. And they are all complicated by what a horrible patient he would be. [/QUOTE]
