For the past 30 years I've had the same general practitioner. At least once each year I would mention to him that my father and his siblings, had died of cancer. I asked that he be aware of that and monitor my health for same. He always indicated that wouldn't be a problem. I've enjoyed very good health and just recently had a colonoscopy, which revealed a growth which is cancerous. I had just had my annual wellness checkup in November, at which the GP found nothing wrong. I'm upset.
