I was in a fugue state drawing this. If it is in any way upsetting, I will delete it.

    Is that a blood test? Those aren’t always effective. I kept testing negative even when I had a massive tumor in my bowels. The only thing that really works is going in there and taking a look, i.e. a colonoscopy.

      It’s a poop test. Its pretty good at finding cancer, but if there’s any blood at all its invalid. A good option for people in their 30’s and 40’s. Older folks probly just need the probe.

        Ah, that sounds better. My tumor was found when I was 30 and initially caused me lots of IBD problems, and then proceeded to blood in my stool. Butt probe then confirmed it even though my doctor was expecting something else because I was so young. A test like that might not have helped much in my case but I wasn’t the most average case anyway.
