Post 235 A: Biopsy Results.

I don't have cancer. I do have a prostate that's %50 larger than it should be.

Reading a Reader's Digest artical from the April issue 2009, page 88 "What's Wrong with Cancer Tests"? The story in this issue states ""Some tumors spread extremely early,"" he says. "They begin metastasizing when they consist of only a few million cells, which sounds like a lot but is smaller than the period at the end of this sentence - too small to detect with most screening tests. By the time this kind of cancer is big enough to be sceen ...,it's already sent seeds to other parts of the body."

So, I wonder, why all the testing? I suppose Doctors are trying to do what they can, and making a buck doesn't hurt, them. And after all, isn't that what we're all here for, to make Doctors richer!
