My grandfather is the ripping age of 75 and he was in good health till November of last year when he found out he has cancer. He is pretty private but I know that it is prostate cancer. Up until then he had no health problems. 
My grandmother passed away last summer from cancer. It wasn't till she passed that my family learned how much the cancer had spread since her diagnosis. My grandmother had diabetes and a lot of her health conditions steamed from that. She had Chondrosarcoma which starts in the bones but can spread to other parts of the body.

My grandfather died two years before I was born from cancer. He had Leukemia which as far as I know he fought the cancer for a two years. My grandparents moved to Rapid City for better health care options. My grandmother is still alive but she isn't doing to well. She has diabetes which she has managed well up till 5 years ago. She started having kidney failure and denied dialysis since she watch how painful it was for my grandfather. She recently had a TIA (transient ischemic attack)  which is a "mini stroke". She has recovered very well from this and the doctors are watching her closely. She still lives on her own so, my family is having a home health nurse check in once a week. ]]> 2017-02-10 20:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_markovetz/e31t4zdvsiuf/wish/153172097 kelsey_markovetz https://padlet.com/kelsey_markovetz/e31t4zdvsiuf/wish/153173608 My dad just turned 50 so, he is preparing to do quite a few different cancer checks. He has a good bill of health. He goes to the chiropractor once a week for minor pains. He donates blood twice a year since he has no fear of needles like my mom. When he was in his 20's he had skin cancer on his nose but hasn't had a problem since. He is aware of symptoms and wears sunscreen. He works in a factory that works with melts down iron for different reasons. He has been severely burned twice; once on the stomach and once on the foot.]]> 2017-02-10 20:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_markovetz/e31t4zdvsiuf/wish/153173608 kelsey_markovetz https://padlet.com/kelsey_markovetz/e31t4zdvsiuf/wish/153174059 My mom story is much different because of my mothers current weight it has cause a lot of health problems.

-Last month I was diagnosis with IBS (Irritable Bowl Syndrome) 
-I have mild Scoliosis
-I had stage one skin cancer at 16
-I also have chronic ganglionic cyst. According to my doctor ganglionic cyst are usually acute. I get them where ever there is a joint. Since there hasn't been a reason found why they appear but it my be genetic since there my aunt gets them as well. 
- Lockjaw 
-Currently rocking braces to help with my jaw and to give me a nicer smile. 
My Lifestyle
I work full time and attend school full time so, I do have a fair amount of stress. I spend my free time hanging out with friends and drinking beer. My boyfriend and I love hockey so, we try to catch a couple Black Hawk games a year.  If I'm not out on adventure with friends I spend with my family. I have a adopted sister and a brother and three nieces. ]]> 2017-02-10 20:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_markovetz/e31t4zdvsiuf/wish/153179197 kelsey_markovetz https://padlet.com/kelsey_markovetz/e31t4zdvsiuf/wish/153179220 For IBS
- Colonoscopies every 10 years.
- Eating more grain and watching what irritates my stomach and avoiding those foods.
- Checking in with my doctor if symptoms change.
For Scoliosis
- Seeing a chiropractor at least monthly to manage the state of my curve.
For Skin Cancer
- Wearing sunscreen and being aware of UV index for the day.
- Wearing clothes that protect my skin from constant exposure. 
- Seeing the doctor once a year for a skin check
For Ganglionic Cyst
-Check my joints for "small bubbles" and being aware of the size of each one. 
- Checking in with the doctor about the number of cyst and size.
For Lock Jaw
- Lower stress levels  
Overall I need to limit my stress levels and increase time for relaxation. I need to eat a lot better than pizza and wings every weekend. I'm excited for summer so I can get back to jogging outside.

Their recommendations were to limit my red meat intact and add a multivitamin to my daily routine. ]]> 2017-02-10 21:10:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_markovetz/e31t4zdvsiuf/wish/153183805 kelsey_markovetz https://padlet.com/kelsey_markovetz/e31t4zdvsiuf/wish/153183838 I wanted to see my risk since both my grandmothers had diabetes. Since the questionnaire didn't ask if anyone in my extended family has diabetes it looks like my chances are below average. Their recommendations is to cut down on my starch intake as well as eat more grains. ]]> 2017-02-10 21:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_markovetz/e31t4zdvsiuf/wish/153183838 kelsey_markovetz https://padlet.com/kelsey_markovetz/e31t4zdvsiuf/wish/153183885 I wanted to see what my risk was for heart disease since my moms side has a high rate. Even though there is a history of heart disease in my family the questionnaire says my chances are very much below average. Their recommendations are to take a multivitamin and eat healthier options. ]]> 2017-02-10 21:10:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_markovetz/e31t4zdvsiuf/wish/153183885 kelsey_markovetz https://padlet.com/kelsey_markovetz/e31t4zdvsiuf/wish/153183919 I wanted to do stroke since my grandmother just had one. It said my chances are very much below average.
