Hello... this may sound weird, but is
there such thing as cancer analysis, where
you get screened for cancer in general,
not specific cancer? I heard this is
recommended for people over 50, that they
should do it periodically, but I'm not
sure if I got the right information. It's
supposed to be a two day thing with
anesthesia, and I guess you get tested for
cancer in your whole body?!? Anyone know
if this is true?? Thanks guys!!

Never heard of this...............never
heard of anything like it. doesn't' sound
logically to me either. If you have a
family history of cancer, as I do, for
example, colon cancer, all of us run get
our colonoscopies, skin cancer,
dermotologist total body scan once a
year......as for getting put to sleep and
requiring a 2 day stay for cancer
screen......this sounds fishy. I know
xrays and blood test can pick up on
certain cancers. Hope its not a get rich
quick scam and folks are out there trying
to scam innocent people out of money. If
this is for real, would like to learn more
about it......not that I would have it
done. But.on the other hand if its legit
and.....is preventative like going to the
dentist, then I might consider it!

Yeah, it sounds weird to me, too, that's
why I asked because I never heard of this
before. This actually isn't for me, but
for a friend who mentioned something like
that, and in her case, she doesn't really
have any history of cancer, so this thing
would be just to check everything out.
Thanks for your reply and I'll keep you
updated if I hear anything else about this
