Maybe sometimes we are - but there's just no accounting for the people who were following diet and exercise and checkup recommendations, and are still dx'c.

I have to admit that I have two main fears as I get older; cancer and a massive heart attack. Even if I get in the best shape possible, I know I can't stave off either one. But I'm also like most men, which means I don't see any of my doctors nearly enough. Now that I am 50, I figure I might have to get motivated to start doing it; yeah, right.

I turn 50 on Sunday and I'm overweight. Not much cancer in my family, but there is heart disease. I don't really blame my husband's colon cancer on his lifestyle, but I am sure it contributed. He ate a lot of red meat and did not exercise much. There is the genetic factor. He has quite a bit of cancer in his family. We are bombarded with messages to exercise more, moderate alcohol, stop smoking, and watch our weight. However, I don' t think Americans get it. For me, turning 50 and dealing with my husband's cancer is a wake-up call. If there is something I can do that MIGHT prevent a heart attack or cancer, I will do it or at least give it a good try. By the way, tomorrow 2/5 is National Wear Red Day for Women's Heart Health Awareness. Heart disease is the #1 killer of women. I worry about my health. I turn 50 on Sunday and I’m overweight.
