I totally agree especially
PET scans but it really takes a lot to get insurance to approve. I just had colon cancer removed from my transverse colon that had no idea was there until colonoscopy found it. I couldn't believe it. They say no further treatment needed because had not spread but close observation and genetic testing to be done. Prayers for everyone facing this disease of cancer. I was a oncology nurse for 15 years but never thought I would get it.

@musicjewishcarp2008 I understand that! My cancer was found thru a colonoscopy as well after they found I was still anemic after a hysterectomy which showed stage 1 for uterine. They made me do a colonoscopy and endoscopy and found a huge bleeding mass on my right colon. 43 of 48 lymph nodes were infected. I had no symptoms. Stage 3c in 2023. Now I am stage 4 when 8 months after treatment it cane back in my vaginal area. Oy ve…. I really hope it’s not in my thyroid. I seem to not follow a script with this! And if it’s coming back while on treatment does that mean the treatment isn’t working?! I need to make it 3 more years!!!! I refuse to not see my son graduate college!
