Cancer!

[hairyareolas]

I'm not talking about the zodiac sign, I'm talking about the incurable killer!! I have this strange, sudden fear of getting cancer. It's really weird. You see, I have this friend who is only 20 years old and she was just diagnosed with leukemia. It's so sad!! This is the same fun, outgoing person Ben and I took a trip to Portland with this

The best thing is to detect it early.

So do the monthly checks on yourself (Im sure your gyno showed you how?) then get checked every year. They check for the uhh cervix cancers & all stuff at the gyno exams too. :)

I hope your friend caught it early on, when they catch it early on the chances for recovery are greatly increased. I wouldn't worry too much about the breast cancer though, I think if someone in your family has it it only increases your chance of getting it by 20%....or maybe it's not even that, I can't remember. You're a pretty healthy person I don't think cancer is something you should be worrying about. Cancer runs in my family too and I'm not worried about it, nor am I worried about getting diabetes. There's no point in worrying about such silly things, cause worry and stress lowers your immune system and then you might get sick (and we all know that the flu is no fun!)

The happier you are, the stronger your immune system is. So relax and enjoy life.
