How do you stay on top of your health? I have a family history of ovarian cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer and heart disease. For me it's eating right and exercise. I quite smoking a long time ago and hardly ever drink anymore. I take my vitamins and try to get enough sleep. I also use my birthday as a reminder to start going for my annual check ups. So when April rolls around it must be time to start going to see the doctor(s). Today I say my OB/GYN for my Pap smear and HPV test, June will be my mamogram, August is stress test and annual physical and October is pelvic ultra sound with trans vaginal and in 2 more years a colonoscopy. It's a lot but I just think about my family and and my responsibiltiy to them. Besides, we're in control of our own health. If we don't take care of it, no one will do it for us.

) , quit smoking, seldom drink alcohol, drink a ton of tea, take fish oil capsuls +multi-vitamin, exercise religiously, and usually end up eating about 8 servings of fruit/veggies a day. You can never be too careful when that stuff is in your genes!
