Great story! It says a ton about the value of early detection. I don't have cancer in my family, thankfully, but it took my wife of 38 years some 12 years ago. Her family had a long history of female cancers. She failed to get early detection as she had very few symptoms. Lived only 6 months after detection.

What a great story!!! If you had waited to to see if it happened again or procrastinated about for other reasons you would be dead today! When the medical field claims that early detection is your best defence they aren't lying! I have heard so many stories like that from people who faced the diagnosis head on and grabbed life from the threat of death. The people who didn't do that aren't around to talk about it. If you had let fear control you and postpone that Dr visit you would have been dead. Of course we have to give credit to that talented intern that spotted the small tumor.
