I would go. I have to force myself to rebook the many appointments I cancel due to not feeling well. I didn’t go to the GI until I was bleeding dark and it was a very large polyp in my stomach that was benign but explained my bad stomachaches and it took a long time for the inflammation to go away.
I kept canceling my 3rd colonoscopy long after it was due and denying the GI’s advice until he said I was a few months away from Stage 1 cancer of the fastest growing most deadly form of colon cancer after they dissected the growth.
I ignored the warning sign in my eye until two doctors said I had experienced a TIA and was definitely going to have a major stroke as both carotids were 70% blocked.
I weigh 117 at 5’1 age 64.
I absolutely hate going into the drs because I usually hear something new. But I’ve learned if I put it off even a few months it’ll be life changing.
I encourage everyone to do preventative care. It’s like the old saying, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”, and it’s also cheaper
