And I am sorry for your loss, but your sisters case was definitely rare, and just as rare as it was 20 years ago.

It was 8 years ago. And not rare in my family. Recall me saying going to the Dr saved my cousin? He's 24 now, was 21 at the time.
My point is this; the more often you go, the less petrified you will be. Fotze has 8 years of anxiety now built up. If you go once a year like you're supposed to, what's the most that can grow in one year?
Something like 50% of the population will get some form of cancer. Rare? Don't ever kid yourself. The more often you go, the better your chances.
Really Fotze, you've lived 8 years without going to the Dr. Sure lots can have happened, but it's highly unlikely you'll drop dead between now and then. Nothing is worse than not knowing, but the waiting can be petrifying.
