That is very good advice. It's free to see a doctor so make the time.
When my dad was diagnosed with cancer, the first thing the doctor asked him was why he waited so long when he knew something wasn't right. The same thing with my wife's uncle. He was always sick with a sore throat or fatigue but always blamed it on his job. He was dead within weeks of finding out he had cancer because he waited so long. My sister just had an operation to remove ovary cancer as well, and she waited a year to get it looked at.
