Every year in the US most americans get an annual physical from our doctor if we have insurance. It usually consists of getting some bloodwork done, vitals basic questions etc. Then going over those results and any concerns you may have and nothing else.
I always hear those horror stories of people just all of a sudden being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and theres nothing that can be done. Maybe im missing something.

As someone with cancer, mine does not show up on standard blood work unless the person doing the diagnoses of the draw knows I have cancer and then they can maybe confirm I still have cancer. Same for urine tests with me. So really it’s only CT scans that confirm my cancer. Maybe everyone should have a CT scan once a year, but given the US is a living hell scape when it comes to medical insurance, I’d say we’re closer to curing cancer than everyone suddenly having the option of a scan once a year.
