[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most doctors advise against full body scans like this because it can lead to overtesting for no reason or benefit.[/quote]

if you can exclude so many conditions all at once, is that not less testing? [/quote]

I think it’s because they often find things that are not a problem and send you to  additional testing to investigate which causes unnecessary stress and expense. I am sure it has been helpful in individual cases like PP’s dad but overall many doctors think it causes more problems than it solves.[/quote]

I like the idea of it because so many of the recommendations are based on broad statistics (which makes sense from a public health standpoint) but some cancers that are much more deadly are not screened for. I so wish it were cheaper. Not possible for most people.[/quote]

Do you have health anxiety?[/quote]

I try not to. I have had breast cancer testing since I was a teenager (have many fibroadenoma which are hard to measure/keep track of) and it takes its toll over time and creates a lot of worry. I often think about how futile it is considering I could be a ticking timebomb for pancreatic cancer and get all this done for my breasts so often while other parts get zero attention.[/quote]
