Get an ultrasound of all your organs. It will show if anything is there.

Ievleva kseniya Just the ultrasound? I read that they can also determine it through blood tests. What about the paternal side, is that also an ultrasound?

I'd say I'm not against it, but later, with all the stuff going on, I'm not against it. I understand it's delaying things.

Ievleva kseniya PSA blood test for the male side.
Blood tests for tumor markers are not informative at all.
My doctor colleague donated blood in July and everything was fine.
Buried in February... cancer.

Ievleva kseniya Not everything can be checked with an ultrasound. The intestines, for example, are not examined during it.

Ievleva kseniya You can't have an ultrasound of every organ because ultrasounds aren't done for every organ. For example, the esophagus isn't examined. And pancreatic pathologies aren't diagnosed by ultrasound. For instance, my friend's pancreatic cancer wasn't suspected on ultrasound.
