[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should get screened. I'm lucky to be alive because I had an ovarian cyst burst and at the ER they gave me a CT scan to check for appendicitis and found a small tumor. It was cancer. I had surgery to remove it and that was that. If they hadn't accidentally found it so early, it probably would have killed me. It was a nasty, aggressive sort of cancer. And I was only 29 when they found it. Give yourself every chance to catch things early.[/quote] Where was the tumor? Was it ovarian? My dad found a second a symptomatic (but aggressive cancer) when getting imaged for colon cancer. If he hadn't had colon cancer and gotten the CT/MRI the other cancer would not have been detected until it was showing symptoms which generally doesn't happen until it is terminal stage. This makes me want to get a preventive scan every 10 years or so.[/quote]
