I found out I had cancer for a long time and didn’t know it, it’s like a huge haze in my mind is being lifted that I had no idea I had the treatments suck but things are clearing up now
No joke, get screened my dudes! Sorry about your ass sore OP

What prompted the screening? How does that even work? Like “Doc I don’t feel right, can I get a cancer-check?”

Yeah just go in ask for blood work they are doctor’s that’s what they do

I’m not intending to be that person but are you a male? Cause many women I know have asked for blood work when things don’t feel right and are turned away (and there are statistics on that statement).
I’m glad your cancer got caught and is curing up though! I just can’t can’t imagine, after the experiences I’ve had with doctors, being like “oh no can you just run this test” and them just doing it.

Oh cancer shows up in bloodwork? I thought you needed a scan for that.

One of the saddest stories I ever read was the hard working, self employed carpenter who waited until he won the lottery to get a medical checkup.
He died of a preventable cancer because he couldn’t afford to get seen
