Colon Health Matters – Advocate for Yourself!
I had my follow up colonoscopy, and I encourage everyone to schedule theirs. Early detection saves lives!
I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Barry Cukor, my gastroenterologist, and Shez, my anesthesiologist. My journey to this procedure wasn’t straightforward—I had to advocate for myself, seeing multiple doctors before finally meeting Dr. Cukor.
Despite my test results coming back negative for blood in my stool, I knew what I had seen. Dr. Cukor didn’t dismiss my concerns; instead, he listened, trusted my experience, and took action. His decision to proceed with a colonoscopy led to the discovery of something significant—proving once again that patient advocacy and a doctor’s willingness to listen can make all the difference.
I commend Dr. Cukor for his commitment to his patients and for demonstrating the power of compassionate, attentive care. If something doesn’t feel right, trust yourself, speak up, and seek the medical attention you deserve. Your health is worth it! By the way, it was all clear!
