That said, the bitter irony and absurdity of being sent this cancer detection kit while actually being treated for cancer aside, the letter with it is right, early testing can save your life. If mine had been detected just a little later, it would have spread to my organs, and I would be basically on paliative care on the road to slow, painful oblivion.

So, please, if you get the kit, it is a bit icky, but please, please do it.
