Just about every family member who didn't die of suicide died of cancer in my family. I learned one thing and that is living in depression and fear of cancer can drive a person nuts and keep themselves in misery for nothing. Everything in life food activities objects are said to create cancer theres no getting around it unless you live in a hospital sterile bubble and thats no place to live either. So the best thing I did for myself was not worry myself to death on it. instead I kept regular physicals with my family physician, did the mamagrams and other tests as he said to do them. By doing this my cancer was caught as early as possible and steps were taken and I achieved remission the first time through treatment. Im living proof cancer does NOT always kill. I have been in remission now for almost 3 years if it holds for 7 years (3 down 4 to go) Im considered cancer cured. I am keeping a positive attitude about it so that I don't create ulcers and other health problems which would open the door for it to come back because it has been proven cancer can strike the most and hardest when the persons immune system is down. Taking care of myself keeps my immune system up where it can fight the cancer promoting bacteria and germs. Take care.
