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
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
Oof. Sounds like too many of the people I know in the US :(
Since this is a shitpost, was it butt cancer?
Leukemia and bone marrow with a list of other things but I do have a sore on my ass
Hey you should get HIV too so then if they have to nuke your bone marrow and then replace it with someone else’s you can get cured and and up in the news.
To late I don’t think they let hookers in hospital
She can sneak in dressed as a nurse.
Doubt I could even get it up

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 imagine, after the experiences I’ve had with doctors, being like “oh no can you just run this test” and them just doing it.
I went to an emergency room acting like a fool doc thought it was cancer and sent me on a months long multi state trip now I’m in a clinical study
Oh cancer shows up in bloodwork? I thought you needed a scan for that.
I ended up getting a bunch of tests when I was acting all weird it’s been months of weird tests and biopsy to find out but they do have screenings that can detect stuff
A routine checkup would look at a lot of broad categories, and there’s an incredible amount of information in your blood tests. A blood test alone wouldn’t be an automatic diagnosis, but abnormalities could trigger more tests to figure out why something is off
