I share your thought kmakm. It’s a bit of a worry! Having had one second tumour missed I’m hyper vigilant any others will not be missed! I find myself requesting imaging and being refused.
difficult to understand as I’ve read by the time a tumour is palpable the underlying abnormal cell division will have been happening over years. Early detection remains a mystery, I think the underlying disease challenges some of the guidelines. I remember years ago when PET came into the public space. It was welcomed as the most advanced imaging for early detection at this cellular level of cancers.

Cancer care is so generic! I’m finding it difficult finding a practitioner
who is a scientist as well! Individualised care is an expectation hard
to fulfill,
Great to chat! Tonight, I’ve been so encouraged by everyone..
we are not alone.. Our collective knowledge and heart felt feeling
is so warming..
