Cancer on both sides of the family?

Good golly Miss Molly! You don't need to be Einstein to know the answer to your question and I bet you know it too. The answer is that yes you are at a much higher risk than the average person. BUT that does not mean that you WILL get cancer...it only means that your are at higher risk. So, the real question is...What do you do with that information? The answer is you DON'T smoke, stay away from alcohol, drink purified water, and try to eat organically grown vegetables( those pesky insectasides have been linked to many cancers) also do not store your food in plastic containers and NEVER cook your food in the plastic containers in the microwave. Eat lots of fresh vegitables... try to eat every color of vegitables and fruits in the rainbow every day...you know..orange, red, purple, yellow, green. Be careful what supplemental vitamens you take because some ( like betacaratene) have been linked to possibly causing lung cancer for instance... too bad I did't know that ten years ago. Get plenty of rest and even more exercise. Keep a positive attitude, try to find something good every day to focus on and to give thanks for. Get a physical every 6 months and ALWAYS follow through immediately with any tests that your doctor wants to do. One last thing...ask God to help you and keep you strong. It does work. Good luck.
