Because my friends in the UK over 60 yo have a screening test every 2 years on their free NHS which is a test for bowel cancer. i m NOT sure, but i think that is relevance to the areas where our stomach, intestines, right up to anus, that could cause cancer. a month or so it was International Cancer month, or some thing like tat, surprise Denmark is top of the list Doc suggested that 4O & above, jz go for colonoscopy, do it 1ce in 3-5yrs. tis wud costs abt $2k ++ in pte hospital.

Lala81 Hypersonic March 10, 2013 Share March 10, 2013 Below 65, go see neurologist to diagnose. Must exclude other organic causes 1st and MRI also can give clues to what type of dementia if there is no underlying organic cause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care bros here. Singapore recommendations for non high risk patients screening for colon cancer: Colonoscopy every 10 yrs Sigmoidoscopy every 5 yrs Stool occult blood yearly (but very poor pickup rate) If you have increased risk, speak to your doctor.

mersaylee Hypersonic February 9, 2021 Share February 9, 2021 8 hours ago, Fcw75 said: Yep, can only slow down. Thanks. Do ask the doctor on all side effects of the medication for dementia and inform him/her on what your mother might be taking to avoid "xiang chong". Some drugs can slow down heart rate... The degree of dementia usually is tested through a series of oral/visual tests...unless suspect of brain issue would the doctor order CT, MRI, Pet. Doctor would then rate the result and make recommendations...yes, no cure but to slow down the deterioration as much as possible. Best of luck bro. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
