Here is a webpage to check for anything that you get forwarded to you. I always check out everything before I send it whether its virus warnings, prayers for missing children and this cancer scare. http://urbanlegends.miningco.com/ You just put into the search area the info or a name. I just entered cancer blood test. This was part of the article. What they did was take some facts and just added a little bit of untruth. This letter contains the usual misinformation, the kind you'll find in just about every Internet health scare. Take something true, sprinkle it with a little bit of hysteria and a lot of capital letters, add a smidgen of distrust for any doctor who might try to say otherwise, and wrap it in deception. Bake at 345 degrees for one hour or until crispy.
