Guys, I have enough real problems to worry about, without anyone inventing new ones or going on a fishing expedition. I get really sick of these "mandatory screenings".
Here, have an SNL skit starring Woody Harrelson: https://youtu.be/Mu12X2cu6Y0?si=SEeqEEbwXnTckOUQ
If I evade screenings for the rest of my life, I'll never be diagnosed! So I'll never find out! That's a good strategy, isn't it?
As I just finished writing, I have real actual health issues that I'm dealing with and I'm closely working with my invisible PCP to treat those issues (as in "Trick or Treat" on Hallowe'en.)
I see no need to go looking for problems I don't already have, and problems that won't materially affect my life until it's too late anyway.
If someone did discover cancer in me, what would we do? How would things change? Nothing at all. I would do nothing. I'm not gonna die of chemotherapy.
