Health professionals have many tests these days to detect cancer in its early phases: Pap smears and mammograms, of course, but also other tests such as testicular self-exam, sigmoidoscopies, liver ultrasounds, etc...
This is the point I want to make: though these tests are useful, they are early detection tests, and you can only hope that your life will be saved by such a test.
I think most people would want to focus their efforts on cancer prevention. Research is more difficult on that topic, but some guidelines are available.
They do in fact sound a lot like advice from your great-grandmother: Don't smoke, eat healthy, exercise regularly, don't drink too much alcohol and protect yourself from the sun. Watch out for chemicals in your life (pesticides, herbicides, substances at work) and...
...know why you want to live. Why are you on this planet? What is your passion? What is the difference you want to make? What, in the world, really upsets or angers you? If you don't know the answer to these questions, it is not too late to find out. Check out the worksheet we offer with a subscription to the free Wellness Year newsletter.
Be cancer-free!!...and fully alive.
