Sorry I've been posting so much lately...I don't feel like I can talk to anyone else about my HA and it helps to post on NMP to get it out....Anyway, my husband has a bunch of really big moles on his back. I was scratching his back and told him he should probably get them checked out. He said, "Nope. Their fine. They've always been there. They haven't changed. And, really, I don't care." "What?! How can you just not care?" I say. He explained that it wasn't that he doesn't care, it's just that he doesn't worry about it at all...it never crosses his mind, but if the moles would change, then, yes, he would she a doctor. Later that same day, I was talking to my husband's sister about self breast examines. She tells me she doesn't do it. I was like, "What?! What do you mean you don't do it?" She said, "I know I should, but I just don't think about until I'm at the doctor and have to lie to them and say I do do them." Again, long story short, why can't I be like that? Why can't I be like, "Yes, I'm aware bad things can and do happen. But there are no guarantees and my chances of getting ill are no different than anyone elses?" I want to be like that! I strive to be like that!
