I'm pissed that my cousin hadn't gotten a screening since 30 (which is the last time I had one, results completely clean.) He knew the family history, dammit. Still, at least he went straight to the doctor at the first hint of a symptom. It's stage 2, and they say he has about an 80% chance of permanent remission after treatment.
Sorry to hear about your coworker, Jim. Did he leave any family behind? Did you know him very well?
