Dad had multiple visits to the poop scope folks, history of cancers, and all he knew was that there was a benign adenoma in his duodena. Procto-idiot just shared that, and let it fester. For years. Even gave him more colonoscopy. Then, Dad feels horrid and thinks it is the Warfarin he is taking for clots that has made his tummy unhappy. Lots of vomit and weight loss, he gets an ambulance ride and finds out he had stage four gut rot. Died six months later. He would have been 93 this weekend.
