TrueCelebz Quick Take:

Wow, who wouldn't ignore a slight change in their bowel movements? I mean, it's not like your body is trying to send you subtle signals that something is amiss or anything. Nope, let's just blame it on the coffee and call it a day. It's not like James Van Der Beek is a 48-year-old grown adult who should probably know better than to think his digestive issues are caused by cream in his coffee. But hey, at least he got it checked out... eventually.

I'm just glad James didn't have any "red flags" or "glaring" symptoms that would've made him take notice sooner. I mean, who needs those pesky warning signs when you can just wing it and hope for the best? And honestly, what's a little stage 3 colon cancer between friends? It's not like it's a big deal or anything... oh wait, it is.

You know what they say: "ignorance is bliss" (and also probably "don't bother getting screened until you're 50"). But seriously, folks, James Van Der Beek's story is a great reminder to pay attention to those subtle changes in your body. Unless you'd rather just attribute them to "coffee" and hope for the best. Priorities, people!
