Its about CANCER?!
Question:
Its about CANCER?
i went to my doctor and asked if i can get a cancer test because i m scared if i have it and he said that i dont need 1. why did he say that instead of just givin me 1?
Answers:
Simple, because there is no one test for cancer. Testing is specific for the type of cancer and location of cancer. Also, there are specific symptoms related to cancer...no matter where in the body it is...and if you are not exhibiting any of those symtpoms, chances are slim that you have cancer.
A fear of cancer is not a reason to run testing. Many cancer tests are invasive, painful and expensive. Also, if done unnecessarily, your insurance will not pay for them. There must be documented data on why the test was ordered with symptoms to back up the order. Stop worrying about something that you are afraid you might get. If this worry is disturbing your life, I suggest you seek the help of a psychiatrist to deal with your unreasonable fear.
