I'm in the group who only go to the doctor if something is wrong and it doesn't get any better over time. I hadn't been to the doctor in a few years, got pain in my leg, thought it was a muscle pull. After waiting for 3 months, I decided to go to the doctor to fix this "muscle pull". And here I am, stage 4 Metastasized to the bone. I believe regrets lead to depression, so I have none. It is what it is. I would encourage all to get checkups. I actually have an appointment with my new primary care doctor next month, first visit in nearly 4 years. Hope I'm not off topic here. Best to all.

No Steve, you’re right on topic! I think your story is all too common - “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”! Why bother the doctor if we feel good, right?
We take better care of our automobiles, furnaces and AC units than we do ourselves…Best,

Thanks for sharing your story. You also have a good perspective on life…
