Stand Up To Cancer Day

Today 9/14 is Stand Up To Cancer Day.

Have you or any of your loved ones been affected by cancer?

Are there any things you do or avoid in your life that you believe will help you avoid getting cancer?

We have a really huge extended family really huge and there has also been a lot of cancer and some survived and some didn't.  My dr. watches me extra close since there is a strong history of so many different kinds of cancer in my family.

Also 2 yrs ago we sat at my husband Todd's mom's side while she took her last breaths in her early 60s due to lung cancer. : (

We try to eat healthy and I avoid the sun like crazy and use high spf sunblock if I have to be in the sun.  I get yearly physicals, paps and mammograms.

We have had a few family members die of cancer.   I don't smoke and try to eat healthy....have fallen off that recently, need to get back on track.  I think they need to stop putting so much crap in "food" that's not "food"
