Regardless of what we do, we are bound to be sick despite of being cautious on the things we eat or the lifestyle that we live. Sometimes, we are genetically imperfect and disease like cancer is always a possibility. So, what sickness do you dread of having?

I've just been recently confined due to a woman's sickness. I guess the sickness that I dread of is getting cancer. The doctor said that if I don't make any lifestyle changes, ultimately I could get this disease. However, she assured me that its avoidable as long as I take care of myself, early detection and faith.

Any sickness that would hospitalize me for a long time while my love ones are left to bear the sorrow and financial burden. If I'm gonna leave this world, I prefer it quick and sudden. No long suffering whatsoever..., It's not about me., it's the pain I'd be causing those who are around me.

Diabetes, maybe because I am a risk factor and because it has so much potential to ruin so many things.

My husband is currently dying of emphysema. I hope I don't die of something that is very painful. But I would dread dying of slow suffocation the way he is.

I have already survived 31 mini strokes so I am hoping that won't happen again so I get my blood worked every now and then my blood is so thin and thats what caused the strokes and cancer is what scares me I have had so many families that had cancer and passed.

I do not care what the disease is called. I just do not want to be in a lot of pain. I can take most horrid things, but not bad pain for a long period of time.

I would not want to catch ebola..I would be terrified I would pass it to others and start an epidemic.
