Everyone should at least occasionally be tested for cancer, but if you're over 35, regular screenings are a must, because once cancer metastacises, it's especially difficult to nearly impossible to control it.  Many an individual has died needlessly because he'/she failed to heed early warning signs of cancer.

I'll be heading for mammograms a little early b/c my grandmother had breast cancer twice. I'm also probably going to be colonoscopies before too much longer, b/c colon cancer seems to run in the family.

Let's hope and pray that all test results will be negative.  Wouldn't it be great if insurance companies would get on the preventitive medicine bandwagon?

mandalee65

I'm not worried. :)

It does seem like a no-brainer that insurance companies would cover more preventative expenses, doesn't it?

Ewigkeit

Indeed it does; but have you ever noticed how utterly short-sighted nearly all business executives are?

mandalee65

Well, at least the ones in the insurance industry... as someone with a BBA in management, I have to say there are a few out there with a bit of sense. :)

Congratulations.  I'm glad to know there's at least one Bus Ad with a brain!

The radiation of mammograms CAUSES cancer.  So the cancer that is spotted this year was most likely caused by last year's mammogram.  It's quite a racket they have going.  Notice how the more screening they do, the more they "discover" cancer?

Could be, but it's also true that cancers are often treated with radiation.
