I have the same questions as you do. I always wonder how they catch it if no symptoms are present and how much can be seen in a regular blood check during a yearly check-up/exam.

certain cancers can present with things like abnormal blood cell counts or abnormally high calcium but none of that directly spells cancer

[nene718]

for certain cancers (breast, cervical, prostate, colon, testicular) there are screening tests/exams. kinda confused by your wording but there's no test that can predict cancer before it's there (unless you count genetic screening but even that won't 100% predict who with the mutation will get it)

Glad she's doing better, and continues to do well.

Whenever I see her I think of that ONTD member who used to post about her all the time who called her "Red Delicious."

:( she’s incredibly brave for sharing this. fuck cancer. chemo is no joke. my mom passed away of pancreatic cancer last year and chemo was so hard on her she finally had to stop doing treatments. i hope marcia beats this awful disease and has a speedy recovery <3

[flyings]
