"Wouldn't you say early detection is just as important as covering up? My friends, in my opinion, are a little ahead of the game by getting things checked out early and having it dealt with."
[cool][#0000ff]VERY.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]As others have mentioned, we can't turn back the clock and undo what we have already done...or not done. If we have experienced damaging burns in the past about the only thing we can do is to be watchful and go to PROFESSIONALS...real dermatologists.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]One of the reminders I got just a week or so ago was from a female BFTer who had a "growth" for a while. Her regular doctor told her it was nothing to worry about. But another doctor demanded she have it removed and biopsied. Yep. Early stage of the big C...but not serious...yet. Could have been in a year.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]We all have our bad habits and vices. Some are easier to give up than others and some are worse for us than others. What we do for and to our bodies is our own business and nobody else's. But if people really knew just how mean and nasty it is to die from cancer they would not be quite so flip about it. A couple of other members have alluded to that situation.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Not trying to be preachy. Just a friendly reminder to everybody and hopefully somebody who might take it to heart and prevent what is preventable.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Nobody gets out of this life alive...and there are never any armored cars in a funeral procession. In other words, enjoy the life you have and take good care of yourself. And spend your last dollar as you are checking out of this "program"...cause you ain't gonna take it with you.[/#0000ff]
