These wellness programs are too narrowly focused. We had “screenings” in late 2007 for heart disease. I had high cholesterol and high triglicerides, and was overweight. But I didn’t smoke and pledged to try to follow the guidelines. In early 2008 I was diagnosed with fatal cancer and kidney failure. The screenings were so narrow that none of this was even hinted at. Maybe it’s just as well... it might have been treated as a pre-existing condition. But the point is there were strong markers something was seriously wrong and these screenings missed all of it.

You were diagnosed with cancer in 2008? I am so very sorry. I said a prayer for you after reading your post. You said it was fatal cancer and kidney failure, but you're still posting three years later. There is always hope and faith, FRiend.
