I was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor less than a year ago. It is a tumor that has been growing inside me for at least 5 years. Had it been correctly detected/diagnosed 5 years ago, it would have been an operable tumor with a high chance of a cure rate. Unfortunately, now that tumor is currently non-operable.

Current cancer screening guidelines aren't sufficient and in almost all cases they utterly fail in the early detection of cancers for people under the age of 50.

I applaud anyone working towards a better method for early detection!
