Yay, R &R!
As for taking preventive health care steps: If there are unknown environmental pollution/factors that contribute to my health, that's something I couldn't have known/often beyond my personal power.
But at least, I would like to be at peace with myself, that I have done what I could personally do to help myself improve my own health.
If anyone should claim genetic testing for protstate cancer for guys, it's misleading/rip-off (for now): At this time, over 80% of all men will get prostate cancer. It's just that for some men, it grows real slow and they end up dying of other natural causes in old age before cancer gets them. this has been confirmed by 2 physicians for my father since he does have prostate cancer. (But no other medical problems at all @81 yrs...which makes it more surreal. )
This is what I do indicate to people in person if they feel like giving up/or what's the point of taking preventive health care steps since 'we will die anyway" syndrome: The more multiple medical problems a person has, as they age, the more difficult one's health care will become. And most likely, more suffering there will be/taking more multiple drugs for different medical conditions simultaenously.
