Afraid of a diagnosis?

Here's a question for you that might make you think about a few things...

If you feel a bit strange, find a bump on your skin or something like that would you go to the Dr right away? Why or why not? If your answer is no and the problem doesn't go away in a day or so, at what point would you finally make the appointment?

There is so much talk about early detection being the key with breast cancer, colon cancer... you name it, pretty much any condition. So why do we still have people dying from preventable diseases? Perhaps, many are afraid of the result and don't want to know the answer? So many things running through your mind.. how will this affect my life, my family? Can I afford to be off work?.....

I read somewhere recently that 2 out of 5 Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetime. I started thinking about this a little more. I won't live in fear, I won't live in denial that this can happen to me. What I will do is, take care of myself by eating well, exercising and proper sleep (one to work on maybe). One more thing that is a must for everyone! Having plans in place that allow you to have peace of mind that should you face a personal illness you will be able to focus on recovering while allowing your life to continue.

Disability insurance, Critical illlness Insurance and Long Term Care insurance are all types of plans that you must absolutely get in place now when you're healthy. Please do not wait until the day you feel a little strange to ask the details and apply. It will be too late. This would be my worst day ever telling you.. sorry we should have done this sooner. You just never know about tomorrow, no one ever expects to get sick or hurt.

These plans are based on a few factors that will determine the best fit, how much it will cost, if you can get it,etc. Please contact me to learn more about how you're currently covered.

In good health,
Karen
