Ignoring health issues almost cost me; my journey goes on (update)

I hope things continue to improve for you. I worry about cancer being around the corner almost every day. I don't know if that's just part of getting old or me being paranoid. I hope on your good days you continue to stop back by the boards.

Hey I'm glad too! Nowadays bone marrow biopsies are easy. They give a sedative and something else that causes temporary amnesia basically. So its over before you know it and pain free. 

In regards to the big C being around the corner, it could be anything like a heart disease issue, which still outranks cancer here in the U.S. And that is why I wrote about this topic. I'm in my mid 40s now, and I never once for a million years thought something like this would happen this soon. I figured this is the kind of thing or another big health issue would hit me in my 70s or 80s if it hits at all. And because it blindsided me like it did, I ignored the symptons happening because something like this was never even crossed my mind as a possible cause. 

So now looking back in armchair quarterback hindsight, all we can do is to just live life without worrying what could happen the next day but at the same time if things out of the ordinary start happening, be quick to get it checked out and then go from there.
