More women die from heart disease per annum than breast cancer, and ovarian cancer is rapidly becoming an increasingly deadly.
All are important- but not equally so- it should be in order:
Blood Test- total pathology- which will indicate cancer markers, cholestrol and blood presure taen simultaneously
Fecal Test- test for abnormal flora/fauna in digestive system and or cancer markers
Pap Smear- cervical and ovarian cancer
Mammogram-
Eye test- eyes are important but we are more capable at rectifying vision issues than at treating cancer. Glaucoma can be diagnosed or at least predicted from abnormal insulin levels or high blood pressure of the blood test.
Bone density- this takes over one year to be debilitating- it is a long term chronic condition- various over-counter supplements of calcium and vitamin D will mitigate bone density.
Women should note their calcium and iron intake are far lower than that of males- and thus due to menstruation are often borderline anemic.
Eliminate non-vegetable, non-fish fats from diet (fat has a strong link to cancer), non complex carbohydrates (sugar, refined flour etc, certain potato breeds). Cut dairy consumption to a minimum. Take your daily multi-vitamins- but eat plenty of unskinned (the skin and immediate layer below contain the bulk of lycopene, phytochemicals and resveratrol) bright veggies (carrots, tomatoes) and leafy greens and if possible berries. The lower your body fat and organ fat- the lower your risks of all cancers and organ complications.
This is the advice given to me by a professor of breast oncology my wife consults with on a quarterly basis.
General practitioners advising against vitamins are under-educated and inccorect. Any post-graduate medical practitioner is aware of the current research literature and would advise consuming vitamins and supplements if only for as yet unproven preventative medicine- all research indicates it is at least somewhat effective.
All tests should be taken annually- total blood evaluation and eyes most important.
