Sometimes ignorance is bliss. Get diagnosed, find out you have cancer, fight it for a few years while living a **** life knowing you're going to die or live in blissful ignorance before cancer symptoms pop up and die a month later.

People have to question if that MRI gives you so much radiation that you’ll end up at an increased risk of developing cancer afterwords

We had screenings like this 20 years ago by a company called lifeline screenings and it was much cheaper.
A detailed full body scan with images to take to your doctor for further investigation.

A buddies 40 year old wife had Cancer and died within 2 months because it was unknown, until they did imaging.
Stage 4 Cancer and it was too late, so he is a single dad with 2 young ones.

This needs to be affordable, detailed like a PET scan, available at malls and state buildings for well under $8,000...... which usually gets rejected by insurance companies.

So yes, treatments work at early stages, and sometimes at stage 3-4.
There is an unspoken thing, we are iron brothers and sisters, we are to support each other and...It is our duty to support our brothers and sisters in the iron game!

****...good friend's dad got diagnosed at 49 and 3 months later he was dead. He was the healthiest guy I knew, too. Cancer doesn't **** around. It should be the #1 focus of our government and naturally private companies but instead I hear more about gender 'affirmation' procedures and HIV treatment.
