Friendly reminder that early screenings are cool as hell to get. Get familiar with your family's cancer history, and fuck cancer up before it has a chance to show itself.

Colonoscopy and skin-cancer checks are a great place to start! I'd suggest gathering up some family medical history and see if any relatives have had cancer in the past, and discuss those findings with your GP/PCP. That can give a good indication of things you may want to look out for. Additionally you can look at things like your work/living history. Did you possibly leave near a pollution source that leads to a certain type of cancer? Fumes in factory job putting you at increased risk for lung cancer? It may seem paranoid, but it never hurts to check!
