Grateful for life-saving colonoscopy screening and colorectal surgery

Transcription

Rodney: I originally went to Summa for gallbladder surgery. Because of my age, Dr. Pozsgay insisted that I have a colonoscopy. The colonoscopy revealed that I had two tumors that were cancerous.

When you hear that word cancer, it really shook me to the core. When I met Dr. Pozsgay and his staff, Heather and Dawn, they really put me at ease, put the surgery in terms that I really could understand. Then I went in for surgery and they actually removed a foot of my colon.

I really feel like I hit the jackpot with Dr. Pozsgay and to have him as a doctor was a true blessing. If I wouldn't have had my screening that he insisted on when I did, it might have been a whole different outcome.

My message to everyone is get your colonoscopy. It could save your life; if you don't do it for yourself, do it for the ones you love.

I love you, Pepe.

I love you.
