I get a colonoscopy every few years due to family history. The colonoscopy is actually no big deal given the piece of mind / looking after your own family. Other than sitting on the shitter for a few hours preparing, it's really no biggie. Get your GP to refer you if you haven't had one.

Yeah I’m in a similar position. That prep drink is the worst part tbh

Aussie mum’s warning signs after ‘normal’ symptoms lead to ‘heartbreaking’ diagnosis at 25

‘A month ago I would have told you I’m hopeful, but right now all I feel is heartbreak and fear.’

Really heartbreaking, especially if it metastasised.
This bowel cancer in the young seems more and more common.
My daughter’s friend 35 was diagnosed with rectal cancer this year and my 40 year old niece with duodenal cancer ( a very rare type) was also diagnosed this year.
 
Just gutted for this beautiful couple!! My thoughts are with all of you folk that have been through this, or currently undergoing.

Our family has just been through a hell of a year. Both of my nieces, my brother's two daughters, were both diagnosed with very aggressive, stage 4 liver cancer in February last year. One, a mother of two small kids, the other, pregnant with her first baby! Sadly she lost her baby, then lost her fight in November. Amazingly the first niece, whose cancer had spread more, is still with us and is responding to treatment, with the disease stable, and slowly regressing.

My brother and his wife have been through hell and back, but some light at least.

It can be done Kellie, don't give up, keep fighting girl!

Have been through this c$÷t of a disease with my now deceased partner at the time and newborn. I would not wish this on my worst enemy, future family dreams shattered in an instant, I wish them all the best, and can only hope for the best outcome for them, lots of support for them both. Long road ahead.
 
I didn't see the need to clean up to such a dramatic extent on here. I've seen more lively debate here on a variety of subjects.

Focusing on the current subject at hand though, it is heartrending that Kellie, Jeremy and family have to go through this. Especially the rollercoaster ride of emotions as hope ebbs and flows when bad news follows good in vicious cycles that know no logic or fairness. As the nephew of an Uncle who had surgery for bowel cancer today, there are few things in life more gutting than having to watch a loved one struggle with this insidious disease, nevermind anyone dealing with it themselves. Our hearts go out to anyone and their families dealing with this.

To the Finlayson's in particular. At what should be the happiest, most beautiful times in your lives, this is unfairly one of the most trying times imaginable for you. For what it is worth I know I speak for the whole PAFC family when I say our thoughts are with you.

From the outside it sounds like football should take a backseat priority for Jeremy this year... Hope the club is getting around him and giving him any time he needs away, and I hope Jeremy himself isn't pushing himself too hard to try and get out there if he's not up to it. He'll have a free pass this year in my eyes. Can't imagine what his family is going through. All the best to his partner and family 🙏

I think the club as a whole and the players as individuals, will do their best for him and his family. He and Kelly have made some close friends at the club and a number of our players or their family members have had similar personal experiences. They always seem to look after each other well at times like this.

Not that it's the biggest concern but if the worst case scenario happens it could honestly be the end of Jez's career. How are you supposed to be an AFL footballer and a single dad to a baby?

I'd think it's a decent career to be in, if the worst occurs. He's got the income to have support, plus an environment where I'd have no doubt the club would be more then willing to have his child along at the club, games etc. It certainly wouldn't be ideal, but unless he's got a shit load already put away, it'd have to beat not working and supporting a young child full time on a pension for the first couple of years.

Edit: Further to this, single parents often feel isolated enough in normal circumstances, with just them and young kids. If the worst occurs, getting Jeremy surrounded by people who care most of the time will help him in a shit time, rather than alone with his thoughts.

Would imagine if worst case scenario (**** I hope not) many of the families at the club would help him.... But let's hope it doesn't come to that....
 
It was no coincidence he played his best footy last year when things at home were going well.
But Footy comes a distance 2nd in this situation.
I still hold out hope for Kellie, I know of a few people he have been told it's terminal but pulled through 🤞❤️
