True dat.

I annually get a blood test done. They tell me it is not necessary because I am only 36, but since I stopped chewing tobacco 3 years or so ago, and stopped drinking 4 or so years ago. My main concern is finding some kinda cancer. Stomach, throat, lip, whatever. So I make them do at minimum one a year now, typically in middle of the year.

I used to have them do it twice a year, but was kinda overkill. However, if this is not getting better in a few weeks on this new shit. I will go back in and have them do a blood test. I do not care about the cost. It's better to pay for it now, then to be dead or get some, "wish we would have caught it sooner" speech..
