Lung Cancer Screening test

[beacon]

I am sure many of you know about the new lung cancer screening test. I made an appointment to go next week. While I am not 55 yet, I smoked for many years. It is my understanding that this simple test can find lung cancer while still in the very early stages unlike other tests.

 

Perhsps you should check it out in your city.

I've had a test (the uk equivalent, probably budget). I've seen this illness in action and it scares me witless. I think it's great your medical profession are taking this risk seriously. xx

I checked and the screening is available at UT Hospital... and it is $199.00...I wonder why such a huge difference in price?

They put me forward as I have a cough that won't shift from quitting, plus some shoulder pain - the two together send cancer flags and I get checked if I sneeze hard now lol. Sorry, that don't help does it. x

I got the results back and there were no issues, thank God. I recommend this test. It was very easy and I paid less than $100,

Be advised: today's results say nothing of an additional test ten years on ... or even next week.

 

 

Easy Peasy

Yes. I have to ask my dr how often should I go from now on for the test, such as annually?
