As a cancer survivor myself, the US loves to tell you "early detection is the key to success!" but then loves to not test people. I had to go through 6+ months of "please test me" before they finally agreed to. One you get to the oncologist, it becomes great. To quote mine when I asked if it was true Thyroid cancer was the "easy cancer", she said, "people say that, but it isn't true. In your case, yours was going places". To translate, it was headed into my brain. Only because I insisted on testing was it caught early.
I am jaded enough to wonder if it is because the medical industrial complex makes more money off late stage cancers.
