Health
Lately health has been a wide spread topic not only among ordinary people but in politics. I know a lot of things have raised many eyebrows in my family. In 2005, my grandmother passed away from breast cancer(the main) and about 2 or 3 more cancers due to the breast cancer spreading. In 1998, my great-grandmother passed away also from pancreatic cancer. You see CANCER run in my family. Generation to Generation. Not only women, but also men. We try to keep a level head and stay on top of or health with regular visits and check-ups at the doctor, cause we do not want to miss anything. Just recently my mother went to the doctor for a routine check up, well since she is getting to the HILL marker, she had to take a mammogram and a glucose test due to the fact that cancer and diabetes run in our family. Well THANK GOD the glucose test came back normal, she just have to work on her everyday diet a little bit. Now the mammogram. I havent always been as close as I am today with my mother but growing older and learning new things have really allowed me to see life in a new life. So yesterday she tells me that she has to have another mammogram because the one she already taken was sort of inconclusive and they had trouble reading the xrays. I went to the doctor with her. We should find out the results next week. I am praying that everything is okay with he. I can not lose my mother not right now, it is just getting to the good part of my life and plus I dont want my brother and sister to really experience this so young. I pray everything is fine. It just goes to show you that routine doctor visits can actually save your life.
