Patient advice:
Get your cancer screenings early. It's better to find your cancer screenings when they're small and treatable than to wait when it's too late and you have less options. So cancer screenings include your pap smears, which might be 1 to 5 years, your breast cancer, which might be every 1 year or 2 years. Your lung cancer might be an option and so you should talk to your doctor about that, if you qualify. And the colon cancer screening has changed, it's no longer the 50-year-old check-up, it now starts at age 45. That's my recommendation.
