To be honest, I'm at a point where I don't even fear cancers other than pancreatic, because the other cancers at least give you some time and a chance to fight them. I truly believe that excluding pancreatic cancer with the MRI will be a milestone in my health anxiety. I'll be sure to update the thread when I get the results.
Good grief. NO downsides??? Let’s list them.
1. It’s a waste of money, and money better spent on HA treatment.
2. You are feeding your HA.
3. Your rationale for testing is based on the notion that if you get an “all clear” you can conveniently tick pancreatic cancer off your fear list and that you’re good to go. Guess what, my friend. You’re only 23. Most cancers you’re afraid occur in OLDER people. Are you prepared to start this all over again when you’re 40, or 50?
This will NEVER stop for you unless you stare down the dragon now.
