I am destined to get cancer

Yea so get some head while you still have your nads.

 

You get the double entendre and get prostate and testicular cancer at the same time. Or hope it's recessive to you and hope it passes to your children.

 

Cancer runs in my family. My parents had it, and my all my grand parents had it. Odds are I will have it, but thank God they are all treatable.

 

I'd rather be destined for cancer through genes than mental illness. Atleast if you get cancer, there is a good chance your going to die. With mental ilness:

My Father
My Grandfathers sister (Fathers side)
His wife, my Grand Mother (God rest her soul)
My Mothers brother

I get to look forward to drugs and shock treatment. Yeah!

Actually, I do stongly believe we as a human race will have a handle on cancer somtime in the next 10 years. Dont worry chief. You'll be alright.

 

so many of those can be beat with early detection. Because it seems to run in your family I would just make sure you get a complete physical every year. At least I know with breast cancer, if it runs in your family they tell you to go in for mamograms earlier that what the average population goes in for.

 

Ouch... that's rotten luck... get a sex change then u don't have to worry about testicular cancer...

Seriously, though, medicinal technology is always improving, so if u do get cancer odds are improving that u will get cured!

 

cancer is inevitable in any respiring life form. It is down to how cells need to replace themselves, each time a cell divides there is a chance that the DNA is replicated incorrectly. Blood cells usually replace themselves every 3 months or so. Defective DNA in the first place only adds to the chances of a cancerous cell developing. 90% of men who reach 80 will have prostate cancer, the only way to avoid cancer is to keep your DNA in good condition, not an easy task.

 

You can think as positively as you like, but my friend has cystic fibrosis, no amount of positive thinking will stop her from dying a premature death. She needs a heart and lung transplant ASAP or she will die, ive seen her gasping for breathe before- her lungs are fucked, positively think your way out of that one.

 

That is very true-the mind is capable of many things & treating our bodies is one of them. Anger creates toxins & that can harm your body.

 

There is a proven physical link between stress and blood pressure, people who worry about 'things' are more prone to heart attacks and so forth, but a healthy mind does not necessarily mean a healthy body.

You didn't make me mad, shit happens and its ignorant to believe you can simply 'think' your way out of it.

 

I fail to see how you can even attempt to compare a permanent genetic condition to a developing medical ailment. No matter how positive your mind is genetic conditions like CF will kill you, only advanced genetic therapy will stop it, which is unavailable at this point in time. Thinking positively is one thing, but visiting the doctor when your body is not functioning properly is common sense.

That is sheer paranoia. Doctors learn from their patients, that is why a doctors work is referred to as 'practising'. But a 'guinea-pig' requires perquisite conditioning, so you can learn from the results.
