Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Yep. I've done it once but I had to convince the Dr I was worried about stomach cancer and told him I had cases in my family. Results came clean. Unfortunately I did had a stomach cancer case in my family a couple years later...so..
Gastric cancer is terrifying. With a family history, I hope you are able to continue to be monitored. Luckily there are other ways to monitor it beyond imaging. Like how colonoscopies are regular screenings for colon cancer, they can scope your stomach as a way to screen for gastric cancer.
I have a family history of esophageal cancer which is a bit scary to think about! I'll have to remember to get it monitored as I age. One of my uncles died of it and I'm not sure if the other will end up dying from his.
Sorry if I am wrong but
Wouldnt that have to be
"I did have a (...)"?
Not trying to be grammar police. Just curiosity :)
You're right. I started writing "I had" but thought it would be better to use "did" to emphasize but forgot to correct the rest of the sentence. No worries. It was like 6 am when I post the comment and English is not my first language.
Neither is mine.
And I can relate to the just-woken-up fog-brain trying to construct a sentence that makes sense ;D
Yes. You are correct.
