She is 57 and is very active and busy. My mother has a medical history of migraines and pre-skin cancer. My Grandma just got diagnosed with breast cancer last year and had it removed surgically. My great-grandma also had breast cancer. My Grandpa on my mothers side passed away from lung cancer. ]]> 2017-02-12 19:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/pollyjeangill/atcn9gm3luon/wish/153297118 pollyjeangill https://padlet.com/pollyjeangill/atcn9gm3luon/wish/153298080 My Dad just turned 60 and he has a history of low globulin. This means that his immune system is not as strong as it should be. Every month he has to go to the doctor to get infusions to boost his immune system. My Dad also has hypothyroidism; I make sure to have my TSH checked every year. My Grandpa was diabetic as well. ]]> 2017-02-12 19:50:12 UTC https://padlet.com/pollyjeangill/atcn9gm3luon/wish/153298080 pollyjeangill https://padlet.com/pollyjeangill/atcn9gm3luon/wish/153298624
-My major health risk is breast cancer. I am at such a high risk because my grandma and my great gradma have had it. My mom has also had a scare but it was benign. 
- My other health risk is developing hypothyrodism. My father has it and they make it manditory at my physical each year for me to have it checked. ]]> 2017-02-12 19:57:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pollyjeangill/atcn9gm3luon/wish/153298624 pollyjeangill https://padlet.com/pollyjeangill/atcn9gm3luon/wish/153299078 -I think it is very important to stay active and achieve a healthy lifestyle. I currently try to work out at least three times a week. Although I do not necessarily make it to the gym three times a week,  I have a goal to at least stay active for those three days. 
- I also believe it is very important to get yearly physicals. Because of the fact that there is a history of cancer on my mom's side, I routinely get physicals to make sure I am healthy and cancer free. I also think a HUGE preventable measure is to always perform self-breast screens once a month just to make sure there are not any changes. It is very important to be familiar with your body so you can notice any changes that could occur. ]]> 2017-02-12 20:02:15 UTC https://padlet.com/pollyjeangill/atcn9gm3luon/wish/153299078 pollyjeangill https://padlet.com/pollyjeangill/atcn9gm3luon/wish/153299545 2017-02-12 20:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/pollyjeangill/atcn9gm3luon/wish/153299545 pollyjeangill https://padlet.com/pollyjeangill/atcn9gm3luon/wish/153299649 I obviously did my risk assesment on breast cancer. The screening indicated that my risks for breast cancer were average of a women my age. It also stated that it lowered my risk becasue I stay relatively active. The advice the questionaire gave me was to continue to stay active and have checkups regularly. ]]> 2017-02-12 20:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/pollyjeangill/atcn9gm3luon/wish/153299649 pollyjeangill https://padlet.com/pollyjeangill/atcn9gm3luon/wish/153299927 My grandfather on my dad's side had diabetes.
