What Would You do?

A while ago I noticed a lump on my throat, but I didn't think much about it because I thought it might have been a swollen lymph node. I ignored it. Recently it has gotten bigger and I felt two of them instead of one. I looked in the mirror and noticed it for the first time. It kind of looks like a golf ball in my throat. I did some research and asked around. It sounds exactly like a goiter. From what I have read, goiters take years to manifest. I can even feel it when I swallow now. I know that it's just another thing that ails the human body. It's most likely nothing harmful, even though it affects my thyroid and hormones. Which would explain my unbalanced hormones. But the first thing I thought about was cancer. I associated lumps with cancer. It's most likely not cancer and something that I will just have to treat. I actually started putting Frankincense oil on it and in my throat and it doesn't seem as big.
When I started thinking about cancer it really made me think even more. How would I live my life differently? How would any of us live our lives if we knew we had cancer? We might cherish every moment, instead of rushing them. We might enjoy every moment with our loved ones instead of being glued to our phones. We might not worry about the future, only about today, taking one day at a time. Shouldn't we live that way anyway? Why does it take a health scare to help us realize how to truly live? The word cancer definitely had me thinking. I worry too much everyday and I rush through life. I should be savoring every single moment because it's gone within the next minute. Everyone says to do this, to embrace the moments, but do we really? What is the secret to truly living in the now? How would you live your life if you or a loved one had cancer? Would you live any differently?
