This what happened to my sister in law went to hospital a few months ago for abdomen pain he said leukocytes in urine probably bladder infection she showed him lympnode swollen at her clavicle and he said take that up with family doctor and gave her antibiotics.
Now she is in stage 4 metastasized to her liver big mass behind her stomach in operable. She has 6 year and 9 year old waiting for their mom to come home.
She is in excruciating pain needs morphine drip every 2 hours. I feel hospitals here in Canada are so slow with finding the problem that now it’s spread to other organs. So not fair.

So sorry to learn about your sister-in-law, but it's not necessarily your health system. PC is rare, about 3.2% of all cancers. Plus, symptoms are very vague and it is not uncommon to not have any symptoms until it has spread to other organs. Early diagnosis often happens from a scan looking for something else. There are major efforts in play to find clues to early detection. PanCAN organization has lots of info regarding this problem.
