LEAD FROM BEHIND is on a mission to make colon cancer famous.
We're raising awareness that #ColonCancer is The Preventable Cancer.
► Colon cancer is the second biggest cancer killer in America. 1 in 24 Americans gets colon cancer. It doesn’t need to be - because it’s preventable.
► The best way to prevent colon cancer is by getting a colonoscopy when you turn 45. The guidelines changed in 2021 lowering the age from 50 to 45.
► People don’t want to talk about colonoscopies, let alone get one. We’re using humor and heart to change that.
► Colon cancer is rising in young people - predicted to be the top cancer killer for people under 50 by 2030.
LEAD FROM BEHIND is founded by Brooks Bell, powered by @colorectalcanceralliance, and created in partnership with Maximum Effort & Chrysi Philalithes.
#LeadFromBehind - Zábava
It's been an honor to do this partnership with you. Your advocacy about colon cancer will save countless lives. #LeadFromBehind
I am only 32 but I am definitely doing this when (if) I am 45. Appreciation all around for this funny moment of education.
I bet you can count them. #hyperbole
💖💖
I do wish that insurance co's would be lobbied to pay for colonoscopies in between 5 years. They will only pay for one colonoscopy every 5 years. If you want one before that, the individual has to pay for it.

The pride on Robs face when he realized he had more polyps is GOLDEN.
Rob has fallen from grace. I miss the funny
Right? 😂😂😂
@@randomdude189
You’re mad that a cancer prevention PSA wasn’t funny enough?
But I thought he's sad bzs they are smaller😂😂😂
ye but now he does not ....they are both at square 1 now :)
I had my first routine colonoscopy earlier this year.
They found stage two Cancer.
I had an operation a couple of weeks later, and spent the summer recovering. I am now Cancer free.
If I had not decided to have this simple procedure, the Cancer would have killed me before I could have seen my daughters grow up. And they would have lost their father.
This procedure saves lives.
I wish you great health and a long life with your daughters 🤗
How old are you?
Sending you good vibes for continued good health . . .
did you have any symptoms before you had the procedure?
You could have chosen to not reproduce and let your unborn children stay free in a state of non-existence. Now your daughters will have to suffer all the hardships of life including death.
turned 40 last year and had a colonoscopy. Discovered a tumor and had stage 3 colon cancer. Surgery and 6 months of chemo and I'm back in the game. #getprobed #leadfrombehind
I finally got my colonoscopy done earlier this year, at age 66. They removed eight polyps. Thank God I did this procedure.
Was that your first time?
You probably added several years to your life!
@@dirkdiggler2695 Well, they said finally. So I'm guessing...yes! 🤷🏼♀️
Very few polyps become cancerous. You must decide the odds of any medical mistakes vs. your odds of getting cancer.
@@guruofendtimes819 Same as saying don't have a chest X-ray because most of them don't find a problem, or don't buy auto insurance because most people never have a car crash.
Perhaps you could list for us any medical screening procedures that you do approve of. If any.
My mother passed away from colon cancer when she was 46, I was 17. This was the first time I’ve smiled about the C word in 36 years. Thank you ❣️
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss 😔
Same thing happened to my mother 12 years ago. So yes I normally get really upset with the C word even being said. So thank you for sharing and sorry you lost your mother to this.
@@JdeeGeekyGao I’m sorry for your loss as well. But I’m grateful these two are shedding light on just how simple it is to catch it early 🙏🏼
@@trick351 Yes me too, it's horrible and it happened so quick, she got her diagnosis and in 6 months gone, despite having her colonoscopy within the first month of diagnosis. It is rough. I was glad my dad had his exam for it. So far so good for him.
You guys are the best! My son died of Colon cancer at age 28. For all the whining about the prep, it is one day out of your life to effectively screen for a cancer that can end it. Thank you for this generous act and collaboration. I wish I could hug you.
Prep is five days but whatever, I agree with you still
@@desmondbrown3595 There are different kinds of preps (not sure why). Mine was ~12 hours of evening/sleep/morning. Maybe 24 hours, I don't recall if there were eating restrictions before starting the cocktail. Even the drink wasn't bad at all.
So young... I'm truly sorry for the loss of your son 💕
@@desmondbrown3595 you have to adjust your diet 5 days prior, but actual prep is 12 hours or so.
Sorry for the loss of your son. I can't imagine.
Ryan Reynolds is the personification of wickedly wholesome.
I completely agree even though I don’t know what that means.I’m an American
when I had my first colonoscopy many years ago I was wheeled into the operating room and the surgeon and the nurse were preparing their equipment, when I saw the length of the scope laying on the table in front of the surgeon I said "hang on a sec doc, let me stick my gum on the end of that thing and when you see me chewing it again, stop". He had no sense of humour or much of a bedside manner but the nurse doubled over in laughter.
Oh man thanks for the laugh😂😂😂
I laughed at this comment more than anything today 😂
That dr. took himself WAY too seriously - that shit was hilarious 😁🖤.
Satan worship
🤣
Not only do I love Ryan, I love Rob. They are great together. And this is a wonderful PSA.
Isnt he in always sunny?
@@Donoftime98 Yes. He's Mac on Sunny. Probably my least favorite character LOL but only because everybody else is so great. I love that show! He's also the creator and writer.

Rob waking up from anesthesia is a mood.
Saved my life. They found cancer. Had 5 weeks of chemo. 6 weeks of radiation. 5 surgical procedures. Now I'm finishing up a final, 3 month series of chemo and I'm cancer free! God is good and so is being proactive. Thanks to both of you for the vid and fighting the negative stigma of colostomy procedures. #BravoZulu 👍👍👍
Hope you are doing well. You are so young, thankful you found it early. ❤
Just when I thought I couldn't love Ryan Reynolds any more, he goes and does something selfless like this and adds even more good to world. The guy's a saint and a treasure.
Well, I won't say its selfless 🤔 he got his polyps removed
@@Zeratoxx_ yes but he posted this video for awareness to show people how serious getting a colonoscopy is.
@@Zeratoxx_ If that's not a big deal why dont YOU film your next colonoscopy? It's a big deal to air the most private parts of a person's life for a PSA. That takes character.
Ryan Reynolds is the epitome of "Chaotic Good".
Truly a national treasure of canada. More than some stupid royalty over in the uk that dont do jack shit
Ryan Reynolds is one of the only celebrities who forgets he's a celebrity
He's not a celebrity, he's canadian
I’d add Keanu Reeves to that very short list. Oh Snap, he’s Canadian too‼️
No he doesn’t. He’s constantly riding on his reputation and in an ad for some company he imaged his way into yet no good movie in the last few years just a few Netflix duds.
@@randomdude189 Free Guy was really good, I was pleasantly surprised! If you haven't seen it, check it out.
The ads are for his own companies, it cuts down on costs when you don't have to pay for some big name to do ads for you.
@@randomdude189 ya because being boring and poor is for losers
I'm a periop nurse and assist with colonoscopies nearly every week, I fully support every message in this video, especially the message about taking your bowel prep properly, we need you to do that job well so we can do our job well. Thanks guys, really important message.
When I was 32 years old, I had very slight blood in my stool, just once. My doctor immediately got me to do 3 seperate stool samples. The first 2 were clear, but the 3rd showed occult blood. I had a colonoscopy a few weeks later and a precancerous polyp was removed. My doctor literally saved my life. She easily could have said I'm too young or that I didn't fit in some kind of "box" that would warrant further investigation. I'm from Australia and all I know, is that an at home stool sample kit is sent to you when you turn 50. I think this is fantastic advertising for such an important issue. Well done Ryan and Rob.
Way to go, guys!! One and three polyps GONE!!! Cancer snuffed out in the first quarter!!! Big happy dance for you two!!! 👍👍👍👍
Hi@@karlhungus5554!! Thanks for checking out the weird link! I’m going to report it and I think there is another weird video link. Soooo weird! Someone once said that they are bots?? So glad you checked it out so that I don’t have to! :)
@@karlhungus5554 just reported and they are both gone. Thanks again!
@@melodythemassagetherapist6957 FYI they are still there. Reporting a comment only removes it for you, unless YoutTube decides they are in violation and then removes it.
@@OptimusGPrime ohhhhh bummer!!!! Yep they are still there, again!!! Weird how they did disappear for a while!!! Thanks so much for telling me!!! Yikes, so sorry I tend to use way too many exclamation points!!! Take care! 😎
Ladies…do NOT forget, this applies to us as well!! I have put off my first screening but I’m definitely getting it on my schedule! Thanks guys.
I had one. The cleanse routine had me throwing up. My blood pressure is usually low, so they weren’t going to do the procedure when they found it was 98/50. I told them come back and take it again in a minute. I got it up to 128/60-anger. I woke up during the procedure to a terrible pain in my left side. I yelled and they put me under again. United Healthcare had approved the procedure, and then wouldn’t pay for it. So, I haven’t had another. All that, and the fact that I am now all alone, widow and now childless.No one to take me or bring me home.
@@sophierobinson2738 Sophie, social workers or community workers in your area might be able to accompany you. If not try a Personal support worker.
@@mollyalexander4340 This is Alabama. Social workers here are dreadfully overworked and underfunded. But I'll check. Thanks!
@@sophierobinson2738 My mom had colon cancer (she's been cancer free for a LONG time now, all good!), so it definitely definitely applies to women as well.
@@sophierobinson2738 Hi, there are support groups in some churches (some are specifically Women Ministries).

If there is, one of then might accompany you. God bless. 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for doing this. My father was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2000. He beat it. He beat stage 4 colon cancer. He passed in 2014 from Parkinson’s disease but he beat the damn cancer. It has also saved mine and my brothers lives because we started having colonoscopies and they found polyps for both of us. You are a godsend. You have no idea how many live you can save by putting this out there. I so appreciate you.
My dad died of colon cancer, he was of a generation who found talking about this kind of stuff embarrassing. Thank you so much for raising awareness, making a difficult subject more approachable and undoubtedly, saving some lives in the process.
I had my first colonoscopy last year. After waking up from it I was lying there all loopy and a dog just walks by. I yelled Doctor Doggy! Turns out she was a visiting therapy dog for the patients. They brought her and I got to pet her. Made for a nice end to it all.
Just turned 29 yesterday, got my first colonoscopy when I was 27 and had many polyps removed. With a family history of colon cancer I thought it was important to get in there well before 45. My father was diagnosed when he was in his mid 40s and it was caught too late. Sharing this type of information is really life saving.
I've been struggling a lot lately with diverticulitis and it's been suggested that I have another colonoscopy next week. Everything about screening, polyps, and diverticulitis makes me more nervous than anything. Appreciate both Rob and Ryan sharing their experience, it's given me a good laugh about all this.
Get it done my man!! Keep it regular and good news will keep coming!!
word of advice, try to eat healthier. Less grains, less sugar, less of all sugar types, less vegetable oils. less bread, even less fibre rich bread, less fibre, less fruits, less vegetables.
Buttered bacon is magic.
I mean it's worth acknowledging that the doctor said that diet doesn't particularly matter for preventing polyps. Some people are just more prone to getting them.
@@geson86 "Buttered bacon" - even if that did help against colon cancer, you'd be switching cancer against all sorts of heart diseases 😄.
My mother discovered her diverticulitis in her late 60s when one burst. She struggled with weight gain, hernias and surgeries that made the last 15 years of her life miserable. It's very likely that starting regular colonoscopies earlier might have prevented immeasurable pain.
I am 33 and I see maturing myself like this. Thanks Ryan for everything. You are an impression for everyone.
My mother had stage 3 colorectal cancer during my senior year of college (2018-2019). She survived, is doing very well, and is actually retiring from a three decade long career as a high school math teacher in June! Despite her coming out on top, we will never forget what she went through and how important these exams are. Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this.
I had a colonoscopy for the first time in April this year. This very nice lady shoved a camera up my rear side but just before she did I asked her "If you find traces of my self-respect and dignity down there say hi to them for me..." She was laughing hard 😁
I’m gonna remember that one when I go in. 😂😂😂
@@CreativeIsolation Well, when THEY go in perhaps.
Let your behind be the leader it was born to be.
Thank you Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. #LeadFromBehind
It must be nice to have coin, connections, clout, communities, opportunities... and health insurance. 🙂
So basically what you're saying Ryan is, they went right up Main Street?
@@Novastar.SaberCombat Public health insurance or otherwise free medicare for important treatments should be a human right. Period.
@@Bitfire31337 Definitely not for those in the U.S., but I think it'd be great if humanity took care of each other a bit better, yes.
Thank you for doing this. My husband died of colon cancer. Diagnosed at 47, passed at 51. It is so important to do this so thank you!
Thank you for making people more aware! ❤️ I was diagnosed stage 3 colon cancer- NO SYMPTOMS-ROUTINE SCREENING. Life got busy and I put off my screening until 53. I could have avoided surgery and chemo had I just gone in on time when my doctor told me too. I hope this motivates more people to get their screenings. Great job guys!!
I couldn't help but notice both doctors mentioned what a good job Ryan & Rob did with their prep/clean out. It was a bit of a PSA within a PSA; telling everyone to make sure they aren't full of it, in order to have the most thorough colonoscopy. #LeadFromBehind
A PSA within a PSA. That makes it like, 16 PSA 's
If there's one thing you want to do, it's follow the directions for the prep closely. You don't want to do a half-assed job and have the doctor's visibility reduced. Due to family history, I have them every five years and as of last month I have three under my belt.
Half assed. 😂😂😂
@@luurchify I see what you did, there. If you hadn't, I would've.
Also - Got to ask the question that is on everyone's - - er - - _mind_ : just what is involved with this prep/clean-out? Apparently, my work is doing some sort of charity probing event and I have been volunteered. I mean, I do homebrew beer, so I've got a bottle brush, but I don't know how far up they go. Do I need and extension rod?
Not all heroes wear capes…some have tiny cameras shoved up their assholes and broadcast for all to see. So happy to hear you both will be around longer for us to enjoy.
It was Rob worrying about his hair and struggling to eat a cookie that finally convinced me to go get my colonoscopy… you may have just saved a life, Rob.
I shave my head. I’m definitely going to ask “how’s my hair” when I wake. This is really great that the two of you did this.
Whatever they use for sedation is strong. When I had mine, the last thing I remember was asking how quick it would knock me out. The dr. said "just a few seconds" and the last thing I remember saying was "there it is." I woke up with my wife in the recovery room and after talking to her for a few seconds, found out that I had been awake for several minutes and had even talked to the dr. about the results. I do not remember any of that part. Thankfully, everything checked out fine. The only part of the whole process that was uncomfortable was the prep.
They typically use propofol for sedation, and yes it's fast, and it feels like the most restful sleep ever.
It's not strong, what it actually does is just prevent you from forming memories. You just don't remember what they did. You can't be too out of it as they may need you to move around.
@@louisrios5546 AKA a "roofie"
I had the same experience out in seconds and awake with my wife in the other room seconds later. It was a trip but very simple after the prep work is done.
Yup, they use the "milk of amnesia". Gotta love it. Well, unless you really* love it and end up dead like MJ.
As a Crohnie, I get colonoscopies pretty regularily. The procedure itself is no big deal, the worst part is the prep you have to take the night before, and the fasting. Thanks for being an awesome human Mr. Ryan Reynolds, lots 'o love to you for all you do! :)
Very few polyps become cancerous. You must decide the odds of any medical mistakes vs. your odds of getting cancer.
@@guruofendtimes819 You should always be aware of risks and consider what's best for you... however, only 1.6% of colonoscopies result in complications, and about 0.5% of complications are fatal which is approximately 0.00008%.
~4% of people will develop colon cancer in their life. The overall survival rate (including with early detection) is about 65%, which increases to 90% for those whose cancer is detected early.
You do you, but I think the numbers speak for themselves, especially with a history of Colon cancer in my family.
It would seem to me to be a far better choice for most people to follow the advice of their doctors and the medical community at large, and get a colonoscopy in their 40's, and a follow-up every decade or so... Even if some random dude on the internet, likely with no qualifications, tries to scare them off from making wise choices.

I agree on the prep side - that stuff can be brutal. (Part of me wishes the guys had done a video complete with the prep & their candid reactions to it!)
I'm only 27 (non-smoker, healthy overall and no family history of colorectal cancer) and I was having issues with bleeding when going to the bathroom. Had a colonoscopy early this year and turns out that I had stage I rectal cancer, which was treatable with surgery and now I'm cancer free. I was soooo lucky that it was found at such an early stage.
Go and get your colonoscopies, please! It can save your life like it probably saved mine.
This is so awesome guys! I had my first colonoscopy in 2019. Discovered Stage 3b colon cancer. Bowel resection and 12 rounds of chemo, and I'm currently cancer free.
Just had one yesterday. They did find “something”. Called it a nodule or something but said it wasn’t a polyp. They took a biopsy (waiting for the results) and actually tattooed the area so that they would know exactly where it was located. My first tattoo! Yay!! Lol
Hell yeah on the first tat!! more to follow? Found a "nodule" on my first and freaked me out. turned out to be nothing in my case. Anything caught early is the key... cheers!
@@Abe262 I’m kind of a wimp so probably no more tattoos lol. I’m sure my nodule is fine and nothing to worry about. Glad yours was nothing to worry about! Take care!

This was a super classy PSA. Funny, adult, wholesome, and covers an oft overlooked issue. Great job, guys. I didn't know this needed to be done at 45 (I'm 42) and I do now. You guys are great
Until a couple of years ago, the recommended age was 50 for the first one (every ten years after that if nothing was spotted), but since so many young people were being diagnosed with and dying from colorectal cancer, the ACS changed the recommendation to 45.
They've apparently changed the recommended age to start screening, because it used to be 50 yrs old.
@@rosemorris7912 oops! Just saw your comment!
WOW using your platform to educate about colonoscopy. Leading the way. Both of you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are awesome Ryan! I just turned 45 and had to have my first colonoscopy and they found for pre-cancerous polyps. It’s never anything that we want to talk about or share with others but it’s so so so important and I commend you for sharing it with others and bringing awareness with your usual comedic style.
Thanks for your love and support to Ryan and Rob awareness campaign...
2017 I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer. One month later I had a total colectomy. Still have my cancer pictures, inside of my colon. At 37. If I waited until 45, I'd be dead. 41 now.
Thank you for telling us - people need to understand how serious, and how asymptomatic colon cancer can be.
Unfortunately most people wait until they have noticeable symptoms that disrupt their lives. I’m wondering what made you get tested for cancer so young.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how all-round wholesome Ryan Reynolds is? From making the best movie of 2016 to colon cancer awareness ads. This man is literally godsend!
Fuck off, he's a professional actor.. It's in his best interests to do things like this.
You mean the best movie of 2005.
Lol no I mean Just Friends
Believe in our Lord
Watch van wilder.
At 55 I had a FIT test come back positive during an annual physical. Had a colonoscopy and they found three polyps which were tested right there and were found to be negative. The procedure really is no bug deal. I literally came out of it and was on my way in about an hour and I felt great. The prep itself also was not as big a deal, at least not for me it wasn't. Before I did mine, I searched CZcams and found many videos by others on how they got through doing their prep and believe me, those videos helped loads. Honestly, I was going to put off my colonoscopy but I'm glad I didn't. Do yourself and if you have to get one, do it! You will be glad you did.
Really helpful comment, sir!
As a fan of both of you guys and a medical student, huge props to both of you. This is not only a greatly shot and funny video, but it’s going to save countless lives. Incredible, incredible job. Keep leading from behind, hope both of you are feeling well after your procedures and are happy that you’ve potentially prevented colon cancer from developing!
Well done for highlighting an important part of men (and women’s) health!

My Mom had absolutely no symptoms of anything being wrong. When they finally presented, she was already at stage 4. She was gone way too young.
The prep is easier than ever now, and you get a great nap!
Get your colonoscopy sooner rather than later. It can make all the difference.

Most polyps are benign (not cancerous). Your doctor can tell if a colon polyp is cancerous during a colonoscopy by collecting tissue to biopsy. The results of the biopsy are typically sent to your doctor within a week. Only 5% to 10% of all polyps become cancerous. How long does it take for a polyp to turn into cancer?

I just beat stage 3 colorectal cancer. The colonoscopy was the easiest part of the last year. They need to drop the age limit down even further as many of us are getting diagnosed before 45. I am 44 with no family history of CRC, and many others are being diagnosed even earlier.
Thank you for spreading awareness.
May I ask did you have symptoms?
@@pepsiwepsi1952 Hi, hope you don't mind me popping into this convo to give you my symptoms. No one in my huge amount of blood relatives, alive and passed, had colorectal cancer. I was diagnosed with stage 2 colon cancer last year at the age of 42. I started having noticeable small amounts of blood in my stool and or on toilet paper in 2017. It was every 3 to 4 months. Took the at home blood in stool test. It came back negative. I also started having diahrea, change in bowel habits. Then towards the end of 2020 I became anemic. Noticed blood about once a month and bowel movements were 4 to 6 times a day. In 2021 I couldn't leave the house because I needed to be near a toilet. Anemia was very bad. Also had gassy rumbling in rectum area, if that makes sense. Especially when waking up in morning. Also, as soon as I woke up in the morning I had to go. Finally had a colonoscopy in August 2021 and surgery in September 2021. Couple weeks before surgery I started having the ribbon like stools. If you're asking because you're having symptoms, don't wait like I did. I was very lucky that it was only stage 2 after having symptoms for so long. Colonoscopy, and switching doctors to take me and my symptoms seriously, saved my life. Talk to your doctor if you're having any symptoms or concerns.
My son, AJ Rosen was the most likeable, loveable person you could ever meet. He was a 3 time Olympian, had just been employed as Commercial Pilot Trainer and went into hospital in late July 2021 thinking he had Covid. He was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon cancer. He passed In December 2021. He was just 37 years of age. So loved. So special. So intelligent and with the greatest sense of humor (humour). Helped so many friends as a mentor and in just being a good person. HAVE a colonoscopy. AJ told me about the Wrexham football club. I am British, and my son was an Olympian for Great Britain and a dual Citizen. Love Ryan as my youngest son looks like Ryan. Love the message of the soccer club. YES, you are not just representing a soccer/football club but you are now the parents of that town. Please know that. You know that. Bless Ryan and Rob. Keep the faith in rebuilding the club, the town, and helping so many. On another note, you need to order to-shirts! Yes, I bought your gin and don'r drink it but there you have it.. Any thoughts on owning a vineyard?
From a coders knowledge: a screening will turn into diagnostic if they find something. There are separate charges for diagnostic, biopsy, removal, and control of bleeding. So it is extremely common to have multiple colonoscopy codes charged to you during one procedure.
Not on the NHS my guy, all free
That shouldn’t stop anyone from doing the screening though! Better to find something early if you can. Would be nice if insurers covered it if it starts as screening and they find something though, instead of making it diagnostic and charging for it. I mean really, does that seem fair? I’ll bet some people put it off because they are afraid that there will be a polyp and then they will have to pay for the procedure.
This was a very important message that, though it was accompanied with great humor, was given the gravity it deserves. I'm glad they didn't half ass this.
Already did three years ago, when I was 47.🤩 Was a bit nervous and annoyed with the prep (to drink in and get out before the exam) but absolutely enjoyed the procedure till finish, even feel so relaxing when I woke up.😘 Surely nothing to be fear off and the best thing to do for your health.👍 Simple act could save your precious life, so do it at the right time, people.🤟 Eventually, Bravo to Ryan to do it.👏
Thank You!! I've been getting screed since 25, family history. It's gotten so much better over years. You get best nap and potentially save your life- please get them as recommended!!
I love you. Great cause, not enough people even think of getting checked or are too embarrassed to do to the doctor. Solid work boys
I am 45 this year. I have been dogshit at taking myself in for any kind of checkups. I didn’t know this was a thing I need to do.
So thank you Ryan and Rob for letting me know I need to get off my ass and show it to some doctors.
Great job helping to keep the world a healthier place! You guys have done a very good thing.
Thanks for your love and support as a huge fan of Ryan and Rob awareness campaign...
Having had a colonoscopy myself, I love how they don't discuss the "prep" that they both did so well 🤣. Not gonna lie, the prep is the worst part 😳😅
I threw up after the last glass of horrible stuff. There was no way that I was going to reschedule and go through that again. To add insult to injury, United Healthcare, after approving the procedure, didn’t pay. Something about the doctor was in network but where he did it wasn’t. It wasn’t done in the hospital part of the huge building.
Bet they were on the phone with each other seeing whose prep kicked in first if they're that competitive 🤣
The prep was horrible, so much so that I cried when I had to slug the second dose of it. I also had issues when I woke up. It took four hours to do the procedure because of an undiagnosed hernia, and when I regained consciousness, I had enough nausea and pain to light up a mid-sized city. But I will do it again in three years because they did find some polyps.
@@rosemorris7912 Pardon my curiosity, you don't have to answer, but what happens when you have an undiagnosed hernia? Did it prevent you from falling asleep before the procedure? Just wondering because I have several disc hernias and I have to sleep in a very particular position to avoid any pain. I can't imagine how I would be able to have any kind of medical procedure if I had to lie down in a hospital. I'm supposed to do a colonoscopy soon.
Let’s do this! Thanks guys I turn 45 in November and I’m getting in there. ❤️
The worse part of the whole process is the prep. "Where did corn come from, I haven't eaten corn in like two weeks!"🤔🤪🤣😂
This video may very well have saved my life. At 44, with two little ones at home, I took the proactive step of getting a colonoscopy, despite having no noticeable symptoms. I casually went out for lunch afterwards, not anticipating any alarming news. However, that afternoon, I was met with the grave expression of my doctor, who informed me of a small tumor in my rectum. This quickly led to a series of additional scans and consultations. I am currently in the recovery phase following a 7 hour surgery.
Had I waited for symptoms, I wouldn’t see my kids grow up. Now I have 90%+ chance of beating this and continuing a normal life.
I’ll have my first colonoscopy ever this week, thanks to this video. I am 46 years old and for some reason completely neglected this. Great job Ryan creating awareness.
I had my first one this year at 52. Dx'd with Lynch Syndrome earlier so it was kind of a necessity. They went in through the top (Endoscopy) and through the bottom (Colonoscopy) (Hopefully in that order) and found nothing. So very pleased I got it done and what a relief. Even the prep wasn't that bad.
Yeah, I had that too. I was having some digestive troubles and since I had to have the colonoscopy anyway, while they were at it, they went in from both ends. I had a couple of tiny polyps removed and everything else was fine.
Great idea, Ryan! I’ve had two colonoscopies and, honestly, they’re no big deal. The prep is the hardest part, and all I can say is bring some good reading material to the bathroom. Because you’ll be sitting there for awhile 💩
When you can put your pride aside and humble yourself with such a personal procedure to advocate for it is an admirable quality. Celebrity aside.
My grandmother died from colon cancer in 1988. She would never go to the doctor for checkups. She didn’t have to die. It could have been prevented.
Thank you guys for doing this. Because if you, there will be an increase in people getting screened. The families of those saved appreciate you for inspiring others.
Thanks for your love and support to Ryan and Rob awareness campaign
I had a short colonoscopy done two weeks ago, and the doctor showed reports of small piles being born inside. I'm prescribed to take medications and making a recovery. The procedure was handled perfectly on the same day of diagnosis. The most exhausting and crucial part is the prep part of the procedure.
He really found something. I’m glad they fixed the problem. Thanks Ryan!
My husbands life was saved by a routine colonoscopy he went for his 50th bday and they found stage three colon cancer he had zero symptoms. He is still fighting today three years strong. Thanks for bringing awreness
Ryan, thank you for putting out this message. I was 43, so too young to be screened, but I started feeling unwell and stopped having bowel movements. Six weeks later I was having emergency surgery as a tumor had completely blocked my bowel. I was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. Thankfully I had no metastases, but the lining inside my abdomen tested positive. Had a great surgeon...he left me with a double-barrel colostomy, but he intentionally did it in a way so that it could be reversed later. I went through chemo and a long recovery, but survived long enough to get that colostomy reversed. I'm 55 now and considered cured, but no one else I went through chemo with survived. I have my criticisms of western medicine, but this is a fairly low risk procedure that with early detection can save your life.
Love deadpool
I'm 27 and I've had over 50 surgeries since I was 2. So the operating room is all too familiar. To see Rob and Ryan at the hospital like that does a really good job humanizing the celebrity status. Just a cool reminder that they're people too and anything can happen to anyone.
I turn 45 November 5, and I am not looking forward to this. Thank you for letting me know that this needs to be done at 45 though, because I was unaware of this.
Lead from behind is a title to a happy ending. 😢
Such a move from these two giants... huge respect!
Colon Cancer is
✅️ PREVENTABLE
✅️ TREATABLE and
✅️ CURABLE! 💯
Thank you Ryan and Rob! 👏👏👏
Thank you for bringing more awareness to preventative screening. I have Crohns and encouraged my dad to have a colonoscopy, which found early stage cancer. It literally saved his life. Much respect to you both for doing this. ❤️
It's so nice that Ryan is helping Rob with his Make-A-Wish dream.
Kidding aside, I moved to Texas to look after my father when he contracted a similar cancer. Thanks to Rob & Ryan for bringing awareness.
Great watching these two as they riff off each other in anything that they do together. I've also had this procedure at 60 and I'd definitely recommend it, so guys don't hang about, it could save your life.
Ryan you are a real life hero 💪😁👏👏👌
I love this! Thank you guys so much ❤️
Also, I love the exchange between Rob and the nurse. I think Rob was expecting him to say Always Sunny. 😂
Couldn't help but laugh at the Lead from Behind lol. Way to go gentleman, making health care and prevention manly, doable, easy to talk about, and helping others!
The goal is to see the wellbeing of the survival of the human species... Thanks for your support as a huge fan of Ryan and Rob...
GREAT JOB RYAN! WE ALL LOVE YOU & ARE SO PROUD YOU'RE CANADIAN 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦💜🙏😘
I go for my first colonoscopy tomorrow and have a solid amount of anxiety about it. Thanks for normalizing this for so many!
Thanks for the awareness guys! There are those who either don't think about it, or, think it'll be too hard to do, but you've managed to nail down both!
I'll be doing it for sure when I come of age (I haven't said that in a long time) and I hope everyone else does too!
Let's live long and healthy guys!! 👍
You saved yourself and your friend from cancer. Thank you for making us laugh at your colonoscopy and helping save other people.
Being a long term sufferer of IBD, ulcerative Colitis, I cannot stress how important good gut health is and that you get yourself checked out. It is literally a life saver. Just wish my doctors would schedule mine a bit more regularly.
U should ask for it if u are concerned. Be your own health advocate.
@@melanieinhobson3595 however that's the issue with my local hospital. You have to jump through hoops to be seen again. I'm supposed to see my GI consultant firstly every year, (in reality when they remembered to make an appointment) that changed to every three years, as I manage it quite well.
Colonoscopies went from every year (in reality every two years) to every three years and then if we really need to. Covid meant appointments were cancelled and I haven't seen a GI consultant for about five years. And I'm in a high risk group for bowel cancer.
Sometimes you need to monitor and manage it yourself because no one else will.
My Dad got his first colonoscopy at 65 years old!. He is totally old school, Irish through and through. I prepared his prep etc but he said he felt nothing and everyone in the ward who had it done were passing gas left, right and centre but not him!!lol. I didn't have the heart to tell him he was the only one there!!!. Great message Rob and Ryan. Huge 'It's always Sunny...' fan. Be well all.💕🙏
This is an amazing video, I am living proof that that colonoscopy saves lives. I had my first one this may at 47 (I delayed it because of COVID). The doctors removed a 45mm polyp (no that is not a typo..) from my colon. The pathology showed that this was one huge ball of cancer... but the bad stuff didn't go down the stem to the bowel wall and the margins were clean, meaning once he removed the polyp, I was cancer free.. The worst part of the whole this is the prep, but the procedure is easy.. I can not stress enough if you are of age or have colorectal cancer in your family history, consult a physician and schedule it NOW!!!! #LeadFromBehind
Best 10 minutes of sleep. At the age of 56 I have had 3 already. I love that you guys did this.
Being sedated does deliver an amazing sleep.
You are taking a big chance partner...
Unless you wake up 1/2 way through (I did with my first one in my early 30s). The follow-up I asked them to give me a little more gas. Have had 3 myself and am only 43 (and no family history). First one removed polyps...other 2 are clear.
@@CalTek I’ve had polyps as well. I’m glad you had it done early then. That sucks you woke up. My dad was awake for his first one. I was awake for first endoscopy.
Thank you! I was diagnosed with stage 3b colon cancer at 40. You leading your voice to this important issue.
Good for you Ryan. Congratulations to being healthier now. Thanks for removing the procedures stigma. Happy for your family 😊..long life kiddo.
Thanks for showing how easy this important procedure is. I tell everyone I know it's a piece of cake. Spending quality time in the bathroom for prep isn't that fun, but come on - seriously a small price to pay for something that could save your life. The more you can help dispell fear about colonoscopies, the more people will be helped - thanks!
These guys are an absolute treasure for the human race👍🏻
