You've probably seen the t-shirts and bumper stickers that say "Cancer Sucks". No argument here. I know I'm very blessed and very fortunate when it comes to my diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. The support from my family and friends has been out of this world. Insurance has made this stressful time much easier. Regardless, Cancer Sucks!
Without going into great detail, my family's cancer history was/is pretty scary. With that knowledge, I've made several decisions. I don't drink. I don't smoke. My diet has improved with time. I exercise 3-5 times per week. I stick with my annual physicals. Monthly self-exams. Routine colonoscopies. I wear sun screen and broad rim hat when I golf and mow.
You might attempt to read between the lines and come to the conclusion that I'm suggesting that if you're going to get cancer, you're going to get cancer; so go ahead and enjoy life's pleasures. On the contrary. Do everything you can to avoid this despicable disease!
