The other day I started to think about other types of cancer. Because if I have breast cancer at the age of 37, maybe I'm at higher risk for other cancers as well.
This type of thinking can lead to Freaking Out. What if I have ovarian cancer? How would I know? Oh my god, maybe I have colon cancer too. I think my lymph nodes are swollen; do I have lymphoma? Maybe I should go in for screening.
And then I stopped and thought, "Oh yes! That's just what I need right now... a scope up my ass! I'm sure that would make me feel so much better!"
I started laughing so hard at the thought of it all; me, at the proctologist's office, waiting for that lovely exam, subjecting myself to anxiety and dread while waiting for the results. No, thank you.
No need to borrow trouble.
But it was such a good laugh, I had to share it.
