Bɔku we dɛn de fɔ tɛst yu stɔl. Yu dɔktɔ go pik di bɛst we fɔ du am bay di sayn dɛn we yu gɛt:

• Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT): Dis de chɛk fɔ smɔl smɔl blɔd pat dɛn na di stɔl we tu smɔl fɔ si wit yu yay. if di rizulεt na ``positiv``, i min se bכdi de bכn sכmsay na di dijestiv sistεm.
• FIT-DNA Tεst: Dis sכm kayn we lεk di `(FOBT)`, bכt i nכ kin no כnli bכdi, bכt i kin no di DNA fragmεnt dεm we dεn chenj insay wan we we kin kכnεkt wit kεnsar sεl dεm. (Na ya `FIT` tinap fɔ `Fecal Immunochemical Test`).
• Test fɔ si if yu gɛt infekshɔn: Dɛn kin du dɛn tin ya difrɛn we dɛn. sכmtεm dεn kin gro di jεm dεm εn luk dεm na ``Kכlchכ'', dεn kin si dεm כnda maykroskכp, כ bay we dεn de luk fכ di jεm dεm in ``DNA''.

A nid fɔ du ɛni spɛshal tin bifo a du tɛst fɔ di stɔl?

Bɔku tɛm, yu nɔ go nid fɔ du ɛni spɛshal tin. Bɔt mɛmba se sɔntɛnde yu dɔktɔ kin tɛl yu fɔ stɔp fɔ tek sɔm mɛrɛsin fɔ sɔm dez , ɔ fɔ avɔyd sɔm it dɛn (lɛk rɛd mit ɛn sɔm vɛjitebul dɛn) fɔ sɔm dez . Dɛn tin ya kin difrɛn frɔm wan tɛst to ɔda tɛst ɛn frɔm wan pɔsin to ɔda pɔsin. So i impɔtant fɔ aks yu dɔktɔ if yu nid fɔ du ɛni spɛshal tin bifo yu du di tɛst.

Aw yu kin gɛda stɔl sɛmpul na os? Dis kin mek yu kɔnfyus smɔl, nɔto so?

Yɛs, dis kin bi smɔl strenj ɛkspiriɛns fɔ sɔm pipul dɛn. Bɔt nɔ wɔri, di dɔktɔ ɔ di lab go gi yu ɔl wetin yu nid fɔ dis. Dɛn go gi yu wan smɔl, klin bɔtul we gɛt lid fɔ put di sampul insay (wan spɛshal kɔntena). I fɔ rayt yu nem ɛn di de we dɛn bɔn yu bak pan am.

Na sɔm jenɛral step dɛn fɔ fala:

1. Fɔs, if yu nid fɔ pis , du am. Di tin we impɔtant pas ɔl na fɔ nɔ mek di urine ɛn di stɔl miks. If yu du dat, dat kin chenj di tɛst rizɔlt.

2. Neks, yu nid fo put somtin fo toilet fo kech di stul. Yu dɔktɔ kin gi yu spɛshal tre ɔ kɔntena fɔ dis. Ɔda we de fɔ mek yu put wan plastik bitwin di tɔylɛt sit ɛn di tɔylɛt bol. Ɔ yu kin put klin ɛn dray kɔntena (lɛk ol ayskrim kɔp) insay di tɔylɛt. (Bɔt if yu gɛt stɔl we nɔ gɛt bɛtɛ stɔl, lɛk dayarɛa, sɔntɛm di we aw dɛn kin rap am wit plastic nɔto di bɛst.)

3. Di tin we impɔtant pas ɔl! Nɔ mek di fes tɔch di wata ɔ insay di tɔylɛt bol.If dis apin, di sampul kin dɔti ɛn dɛn nɔ kin gɛt kɔrɛkt rizɔlt.

4. Dɔn, yuz di plastic skɔp we di lab gi, ɔ wan dispɔzabl plastic spun we yu kin yuz, fɔ tek smɔl pan di stɔl sɛmpul ɛn put am na di spɛshal kɔntena we dɛn gi am. Bɔku tɛm, di dɔktɔ go tɛl yu ɔmɔs fɔ tek, ɔ di kɔntena go gɛt da mɔnt de mak pan am.

5. Klos di bɔtul tayt tayt wan.

6. Afta yu tek di sampul, tek tɛm put di stɔl we lɛf na tɔylɛt ɛn was am.

7. Put ɔl wetin yu yuz fɔ gɛda di sampul (spɔn, plastic wrap, ɛn ɔda tin dɛn) insay plastic bag, tay am tayt, ɛn trowe am na di dɔti.

8. Fɔ dɔn, was yu an fayn fayn wan wit sop ɛn wata we de rɔn fɔ lɛk wan minit so.

9. Dɛn fɔ kɛr di sampul go na di lab ɔ dɔktɔ in ɔfis kwik kwik wan. If fɔ sɔm rizin yu nɔ ebul fɔ sɛn am wantɛm wantɛm, yu kin put am na frij fɔ sɔm tɛm (fɔ sɔm awa). Bɔt if dɛn nɔ gi am insay 24 awa , dɛn nɔ go tɛst am.

Mɛmba se, rid di instrɔkshɔn dɛn fayn fayn wan ɛn fala dɛn jɔs lɛk aw yu dɔktɔ ɔ lab gi yu. Dɛn kin gi yu spɛshal instrɔkshɔn dɛn bak.

Aw lɔng i kin tek fɔ mek di rizɔlt fɔ di stɔl tɛst kam bak?

Yu kin gɛt yu rizɔlt insay wan to tri dez , bɔt i kin dipen pan wetin dɛn de tɛst, sɔntɛnde i kin tek smɔl tɛm.

Aw a go tɛst mi sampul na di lab?

I kin difrɛn bak dipen pan di kayn tɛst we dɛn de du.

• Insay sɔm tɛst dɛn, dɛn kin put smɔl stɔl pan spɛshal tɛst kad.
• Insay wan ɔda ɛkspiriɛns, dɛn put smɔl smɔl fes pan glas slayd ɛn chɛk am ɔnda maykroskɔp.
• sכmtεm, dεn kin put di stכl pan ``kכlt plet'' we gεt di nyutriεnt dεm we dεn nid fכ mek di jεm dεm gro, εn dεn kin si di jεm dεm de gro.
• Bikɔs i nɔ kin izi fɔ no sɔm jem dɛn, dɛn DNA kin mek dɛn DNA bɔku bay we dɛn kin kɔpi am bɔku tɛm na spɛshal mashin.

Wetin di rizɔlt dɛn se? Gud? Bad?

di rizulεt fכ wan stכl tεst kin bi ``Positiv`` כ ``Nεgεtiv``.

• ``nεgεtiv`` risכlt min se yu stכl nכmal, εn di lab nכ fכn εnitin lεk blכd כ jεm we de kכz sik. Dat min se i go mɔs bi se prɔblɛm nɔ de.
• ``positiv`` rizulεt min se dεn fכn wan jεm כ sayn fכ sik (e.g., okult bכdi). Di ripɔt kin ivin gɛt di nem fɔ di jem we dɛn fɛn.

Wetin yu go du nɛks if di rizɔlt dɛn fayn?

If yu stɔl tɛst na ``positiv,'' di patɔlɔjis (di spɛshal pɔsin we de rivyu di lab ripɔt) go tɛl yu dɔktɔ bɔt am. dis inklud us kayn jεm dεn fכnshכn, εn if εni כda sayn dεm de fכ infεkshכn (e.g., di כmכnt כf blכd na di sכl, di כmכnt כf fεt).

Bay dis infɔmeshɔn, yu dɔktɔ go no di rayt tin we mek yu gɛt di sik ɛn gi yu di rayt tritmɛnt fɔ yu.

Dis rili impɔtant: Sɔntɛnde, if di tin dɛn we dɛn dɔn fɛn sho se yu gɛt sɔntin lɛk kansa, nɔ panik. Yu dɔktɔ go rifer yu to ɔnkɔlɔjis fɔ mek dɛn du ɔda tɛst ɛn ɛni tritmɛnt we yu nid.

Yu tink se fɔ tɛst yu stɔl fayn lɛk we yu de du kɔlon skɔpi?

Na tru se we dɛn du stɔl tɛst, dat kin gi dɔktɔ dɛn bɔku impɔtant tin dɛn. כltu, sכmtεm sכmtεm sכm s כm chenj dεm na di kכlon (e.g., rili sכm polip dεm) kin tu ali fכ no bay stכl tεst.

Insay dɛn kayn tin ya, mɔ if yu stɔl tɛst nɔ de bɔt yu kɔntinyu fɔ gɛt sɔm sayn dɛn (lɛk we yu bɛlɛ de pen ɔ we yu de blɔd), yu dɔktɔ kin tɛl yu fɔ du kɔlon skɔpi . Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, kɔlon skɔpi min fɔ put wan lɔng, fleksibul tyub wit smɔl kamɛra tru yu rɛktum, we go mek yu dɔktɔ ebul fɔ luk dairekt insay yu kɔlon. Dis kin ɛp fɔ fɛn ɛni smɔl smɔl tin we de gro (polyps) we dɛn kin pul izi wan bifo dɛn big fɔ mek dɛn gɛt prɔblɛm, ɛn i kin tek smɔl smɔl sampul dɛn bak (bayopsi) if nid de.

Fɔ dɔn, tin dɛn fɔ mɛmba (Take-Home Message) .

Fɔ tɔk tru, fɔ gɛt stɔl tɛst nɔto rili ‘plezant’ ɛkspiriɛns fɔ ɛnibɔdi. I nɔrmal bak fɔ fil smɔl frayd, nɔr fil fayn, ɔr shem if yu nɔr ɛva du wan bifo.

Bɔt, nɔ mek da fred de put yu fɔ gɛt dis impɔtant tɛst. If yu fil se sɔntin "nɔ rayt," yu gɛt bɛlɛ pen ɔltɛm, ɔ yu notis blɔd na yu stɔl, mek shɔ se yu tɛl yu dɔktɔ.

Dis simpul stɔl tɛst kin gi yu dɔktɔ valyu infɔmeshɔn bɔt wetin de mek yu gɛt prɔblɛm wit yu dijestiv. We yu dɔktɔ no us jem dɛn de na yu stɔl ɛn if ɔda prɔblɛm dɛn de, i go ebul fɔ no di kɔrɛkt we aw yu gɛt di sik ɛn bigin di tritmɛnt we go wok fayn pas ɔl . So, dis rili impɔtant fɔ yu wɛlbɔdi!
