I was very much a hypochondriac at one time in my life.

Now i’m 7 years behind on a follow up colonoscopy because a 3cm polyp was removed and 6 years behind on a follow up endoscopy because pre cancerous cells were scraped off my esophagus during the procedure.

They’re way down on my list of things to do. Of course the top of the list possibly won’t matter :)

Talk about extremes :)

Don't sweat those things.

Look, none of us want to do that stuff, but catching things early is
what it's all about.

I really need to get in too. I will in the next couple of months.

You should get your cancer screenings on time.

Finding out too late can kill you.

There is no upside to procrastination.
