Side Piece - Check Yourself

Five guys in a garage talk about the appointments they've been putting off. Norm had a colonoscopy and walks through the whole thing — including the prep, in detail, which is the part nobody warns you about. They found one small polyp and removed it in the same appointment. Then Jeffrey walks through four years of a PSA number that climbed from 2.5 to 4.8. No single reading was alarming enough to scare anybody. The trend was. Biopsy in June, PSMA PET in July, four specialists at Duke in one day in August, surgery this fall. Two guys. Same avoidance. Different endings. Both of them made an appointment. 🧃 The jug, the clear liquid list, and sixteen hours of not leaving the house ✂️ The polyp they found and took out the same day 📈 Four years of a number nobody panicked about 🩺 What a 13-core biopsy actually involves 🚦 Green Light / Red Light — what to ignore, what to call somebody about 📞 One ask. One phone call. This week. Nobody here is a doctor. Everybody here is over 45. Don't wait until something's wrong.
