My GP is very thorough and liaises with my specialists when needed.Actually cancer or not,I think everyone over 50yrs should have a 1-2 yr blood check- especially for cholesterol and blood sugar.One of my liver enzymes was raised which prompted my GP to send me for an abdo ultrasound which showed I had a fatty liver- I would not have known otherwise.I think it's better to catch problems early and then you can do something about it. All doctors have their own ideas.My oncologist is abit the other way- don't go looking for trouble or have scans etc because he thinks it causes unnecessary anxiety.That's ok - he's very good but I'm the one who's had cancer twice so I'm bound to be anxious either way.It's so good to have this network where we can share info and experiences.This empowers us and we are more informed to fire questions at our doctors.
