Krissy’s grandfather has prostate cancer and apparently he had been displaying prostate cancer symptoms. It sucks, because a lot of times if something changes in our bodies we just say it is natural and we put it off until it annoys us to a point of going to the doctor, at which point it might be too late. My grandmother was the same way. She had trouble breathing and blamed it on a cold, even doctors said it was pneumonia, but in the end it ended up being lung cancer, which if she had gotten looked at sooner, things might be different. There’s a thin line between knowing when something is due to age or if it could be a serious problem. I guess you just need to listen to your gut and be well informed, what else are you going to do, run to the doctor everytime something new happens?
