Cancer death rates, meanwhile, have trended downward, due to advances in treatment, so more people than ever are surviving cancer. (Though the decline seems rather gradual.)

Its crazy. Apparently cancer is on both my mom and dads side. Now i know zilch on his medical history since my mom was a single mom so i admit my ocd is getting to me because im a self diagnoser wich isnt healthy. As a ex tobacco smoker knock on wood so far no cancer for me but i tend to freak out despite being in good health

Been a minute since i posted about my aunt. No cancer in her bones so thats good. Shes been home since thanksgiving. Shes in California and us as family are based in Illinois wich is hard. I offered to go iut there and help if needed . They have everything covered

Just found out my cousin and her husband have covid. They had a get together 3 days ago. I feel fine but the ocd is messing with my head

Thanks yea im glad it was quick because my mom lasted roughly a month after she came home . Not pretty to see someone bed ridden and suffering. Her son is coming to Illinois in spring or summer to bury her ashes close to family since where all based out here. Im going to miss her witty banter. Im close to family so i keep in touch with family outside of Illinois since i have the time

[TazzMission]

Finally got a volunteer job. Its at a pantry Christian based

I was hoping to avoid this but have to get covid tested tomorrow. Not thrilled at all since i was tested last April.

I have never been tested, but I get vaccine shot #2 Friday.

I got tested last April. Its weird because they swab the back of the nose through nostril. It dosent hurt but after man sinuses kick in to where its a horrible headache. Im debating about the vaccine. Hearing Johnson and Johnson got stopped for causing blood clots so im hesitate about the other 2 vaccines. My aunt in Florida gets tested weekly because she does personal training with elderly.

I'm not saying this is you, but your post just brought it to mind.

I find it darkly amusing that many of the same people that say COVID-19 isn't worth worrying all that much about because it doesn't kill people that often as a percentage, are the same people who are dead set against getting a vaccine because of potential side effects that are FAR, FAR less likely to kill you.

See im not against a vaccine or oposed to getting one. I myself am very careful with what i put in my body. Like when i started getting tattoos i had to do so much research because i have a history of allergies with a lot of things. Funny thing is most tattoo allergies are from colored ink so everything i have is black and gray. Ive had bad side effects from the flu shot wich is why i dont get them. I cant speak for anyone else only me. Personaly i think i have ashma but was never properly tested for it. Im better now thanks to inhaler. My lungs were on fire since last Friday helping family move. Thing above covid is we also have to consider family history. My family is notorious for stroke cancer ashma high blood pressure. Imagine how high risk someone can be with a heart issue hence the underling conditions debate. Maybe im wrong but didn't the cdc say your not fully immune Even with vaccine or was that fauccie? I thought i saw a Yahoo headline about it

The vaccines aren't perfect, no. It does seem that, if you do get COVID after getting a vaccine, the case will be mild. At least that's what I recall reading. I haven't been vaccinated yet mainly because it still seems like there is less vaccine than people who want it, and I'm at very low risk, so I'm inclined to let others get it before me.

Same for me. All the people at my new job had there first dose and we have a optional mask policy for inside the wearhouse . We only wear masks when delivering to a persons car upon arrival. Most of these people are retired vets from the gulf war so like you i can wait till they get what they need. I hate the mask because i honestly cant breath when wearing one. If im at a store yea ill wear one but if im outside no

Tested negative so thats a relief
