Hi All,
Okay I've read a bunch of the post and ideas are all great. I am not sure if anyone has gone down this road yet with "Healthy Living".Some of you know me and know that I eat well and execersise a bunch. I'm a die hard Mountain biker and in pretty good shape. I haven't had a soda since 1980, I haven't had fried foods in 5 year and eat 5 meals a day. Don't drink or smoke never have but yet I still have issue.On that note you would think that I am picture perfect health.
However, Once again on May 18th I was diagnoised with cancer. My first cancer was Thyroid Cancer back in 2004 and on May 18th this year I was diagnoised with Colon Cancer at the young age 45. Even though I do everything right it seems that stuff still can go wrong.
So eating well is great. But you really need to listen to your body and if something doesn't feel right go to the Doctor and if you don't like what the Doctor tells you get a second opinion. It took 6 years to figure out my first Cancer and that only happened because my MTB riding partner (Orthopedic Surgeon) looked at my blood report and said something is not right here. As for my most recent cancer lucky me this one only took 6 months to figure out.
The good news is that I have already had the surgery and they removed a 12" section of my colon and a ping pong ball size tumor and my plumbing is working like normal again. I am still waiting for one more test results on the 31st to see if I have to do Chemo.
So my thoughts are asimple go for routine check up and make sure you have the test that are important for your age. PSA, Colonoscopy and just a general physical. It may keep you alive.
Last thing and I think this is the most important. When your young and healthy buy a freaking life insurance plan and get a 1,000,000 policy. It only cost about $400.00 a year when your young. Remember it's not for you it's for the one's you leave behind.
