Yes, I wrote a post about Cancerguard! I’d be very interested in it myself. Especially since it tests for hard to detect cancers like pancreatic and ovarian. Often when diagnosed it’s too late to do anything. I’m glad you mentioned it. Yesterday, I had macaroni and cheese pizza, and chicken and noodle soup.

Yay, you were able to have your pizza night. I'm glad you had some company, and the pizza you were wanting.

Cancerguard is expensive but I have read that it helps detect over 50 types and subtypes of cancer. I think it's worth the cost.

I ate a burrito with chunky salsa for breakfast, had an ice cream cone and a slice of all-meat pizza for late lunch and had two Fun sized Milky Way bars and two bananas for supper.

I’m well aware of the blizzard coming to Ct especially. Ugh! What a horrific winter. I know about that test and plan to ask my doctor about it. Happy your cousin and her family came over for pizza.

Your meals sound good. I was about to ask Alexa what time the closing ceremony is. At least I will be home from church in time to see it. I finished the chili casserole. Today, I had steak with sauteed mushrooms and onions and rice.

It sounds like you had a good time with family. I will look for Amber's post. We had Little Caesar's pizza for lunch, and I had it again for supper. Bob thinks the small slice of toffee apple pie plus coffee was enough for him, but I ate my pizza, again.

Craig's dad mentioned the storm watch in the US. It's not good at all.

I had Sonny’s BBQ chicken and potato for lunch and flatbread for dinner. And apples and fiber!

State of the Union? Oh my.

I am bummed that I couldn’t watch the Olympics this year because I don’t have NBC on my spectrum package. Glad you finally had the pizza night. It was my mom’s birthday today and my brother took us to a Greek restaurant in Manhattan. My mom’s brother and his wife were there as well. It was a good time.

We actually rescheduled Pizza Night from Saturday to Sunday because I had a gallery reception. There were snacks at the reception, but I kept forgetting to get any (too busy talking to people), so I grabbed McDonald's on the way home. I would recommend *not* taking any at-home tests. I had asked my doc about taking the Cologard test, which was covered by my insurance, and she explained that the test would be covered 100% as a screening test, BUT if there was a bad result, I would need a full colonoscopy to see what was wrong, and that would NOT be covered 100% because at that point, it would be a diagnostic test instead of a screening test (and of course, it is much, much more expensive). So it was better to get the full colonoscopy instead - it was fully covered, and they did discover a couple of very small polyps that they then removed. So no, I don't think you should spend $700 on a test that might end up requiring a follow-up test, anyway, and it might end up costing a lot more.

It’s been a while since I have eaten pizza. I forgot what I ate yesterday but I had grilled potato and Greek yoghurt sauce today for lunch.

That's expensive, but an interesting option. That's nice to enjoy some pizza

We ate spaghetti last night.

Glad you had a good visit. If it's got a high accuracy rate insurance should cover it.

I finished up my ramen soup. Later had more ice cream,

The cancer test sounds a marvellous innovation. It can make all the difference is you catch cancer early.
