Every reader of every age and sex should have a discussion with a physician about what screening tests are warranted and when, along with lifestyle factors that might be impacting their cancer risk.


If i had trusted on this my wife wouldn`t be here anymore.
Thats very complicated.


Screenings are not without errors, of course, and yes I suppose one could get a false sense of security from an incorrect result.

Making uniformly "perfect" lifestyle choices does not result in guarantees, of course.

All we can do is stack the odds in our favor as much as we reasonably can.

I don't find that to be complicated, Mike. I find it to be logical.


For the one person there`s not much difference if you die because of no screening or a false result.
Dead is dead.


There's 'something' beyond death Mike, believe me.


That doesn`t mean i want to go earlier or loose my family earlier.


Of course, what you have, you don't want to lose but what you've lost, you cherish forever, no matter if they passed away. Good memories my friend, are important.
