Any form of insurance can be seen as a risk.

You pay a monthly or annual premium to an insurance company for a set amount of cover, effectively passing the risk to the insurance company. As long as you pay the premiums you’ll continue to be covered, for whatever purpose.

When it comes to protecting YOURSELF in the form of life assurance, critical illness cover, permanent health insurance or private health insurance you really do need to take the time to do your research (or pay someone to do it for you) as this form of cover is not the type that you’ll normally be shopping around for on an annual basis.

The words “you have cancer” are frightening and overwhelming. Some people experience feelings of sadness and hopelessness and don’t know whether they can deal with these feelings. It takes an emotional toll on the person diagnosed, as well as everyone close to that person.

Cancer begins in your cells, which are the building blocks of your body. Normally, your body forms new cells as you need them, replacing old cells that die. Sometimes this process goes wrong. New cells grow even when you don’t need them, and old cells don’t die when they should. These extra cells can form a mass called a tumor. Tumors can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren’t cancer while malignant ones are. Cells from malignant tumors can invade nearby tissues. They can also break away and spread to other parts of the body.

Having breast cancer is not an automatic death sentence, but it does put a person on an emotional roller coaster. I speak from personal experience.

In 2001, I went for my standard mammogram. A suspicious area reveal the same mass as last year’s test, so another ultrasound was ordered. This time the doctor advised me to schedule a biopsy even though I felt well and had no pain. I was positive the doctor was wrong, but I made the appointment anyway.
