Pain Is a Poor Benchmark of Health: An Analogy
More examples! If you drop a 10 pound bowling ball (ouch!) on your foot, are you in pain? Darn straight! But, are you still healthy? More than likely.
But, what if you have a cancerous tumor that is growing daily, yet you have not discovered it? Are you healthy, even though you do not yet feel any pain? Tragically, no.
Important: Please know that we empathize with you if you, or anyone close to you, is having to or had to battle the ugliness of cancer. We DO NOT use it as an example lightly. NO ONE should EVER HAVE TO go through that ugly, nasty battle. NO ONE.
