Movember - raising the awareness of a fundamental flaw.
I will put it out there and say that there is a fundamental flaw with human nature and most definitely with being a man.
It goes something like this...
"That won't happen to me".
"I don't have time for being sick, so it won't happen".
"Cancer happens to other people, not me".
"I don't want to know".
"I don't need a map... I know the way"
"Deep down I'm strong... I'm superman".
"I'm a white knight who will not be knocked off his horse".
Mish-mash this together in any combination you want but men just don't think it will happen to them, and if it does... "my super human strength will beat it".
News "fucking" flash for my brethren... cancer will touch you either directly or indirectly in your lifetime!!!
You can not sidestep it, IT IS A PROBLEM.
Up front I will say my sister, as my well as two of my oldest friends passed away from cancer before their time...so this is a sensitive topic for me.
This is what I know from the experience.
It is a disease that is relentless and will take everything away from you without mercy. I also know that the more you know about cancer, its prevention, and its early detection, the more you will be in a position to deal with it, if it happens to come knocking.
Understanding the fundamentals of Cancer (a video)
And this brings us full circle back to that fundamental flaw I spoke of.Gentlemen... spend a little time understanding what cancer is (and what it isn't), have regular physicals (particularly the Canadians... with our socialized medicine and all), consider donating to cancer research (the cost of a week's worth of coffee), and know as a community, we can keep beating cancer back.
Ladies, if you happened to know any "flawed gentlemen" please pass this on.
