Hi celia16,
If you can afford $949, consider the galleri.com blood test that detects 50 types of cancer. My nagging feeling that hemorrhoids were not causing my vague symptoms was confirmed by my galleri report that detected anal cancer markers in February 2025. Armed with the galleri report, I was able to get an anal biopsy through my Medicare HMO that confirmed anal squamous cell carcinoma and HPV16. I’m now awaiting surgery and further testing for staging. I am hopeful that I caught it early thanks to my nagging hunch and the galleri blood test. I’m a senior ex-smoker so so I would have great about my blood test investment, even if no cancer signals were detected.
See a doctor as soon as you can
