Though my blood reports and scan reports are normal, can I have cancer?

Hi!

It seems from your query that you are going through great anxiety and may be even psychological distress because of the fever of possible cancer. I understand your situation. You have mentioned that all the investigations are normal and you got them done from reputed places. On this I would like to know, as to why do you still feel concern about cancer?

Moreover, a tiny cancer somewhere in the body cannot be picked up by any test. So there is no test that is definitive in saying one has cancer or not. So, maybe we can discuss if there is any specific problem that concerns you. Otherwise I feel you do not have any test suggesting cancer so you can carry on with a healthy lifestyle. Feel free to share and discuss the reports of your investigations, which I am assuming to be normal on your saying so. Regards.

I believe you that all your reports are normal. Also, you should not worry about cancer in your body. However, as a matter of principle, you must realize that there is no single foolproof single test that would be sufficient to rule out the possibility of cancer. Along with that, it is not required for most people to undergo repeated tests to find small cancers. This kind of screening approach is used only for certain cancers and only in people having high risk of cancer. So, unless one is at high risk of developing some particular cancer, there is no recommendation to unnecessarily do very many tests. All these tests pick up cancer only after it has grown to some particular size, generally more than 1cm. So, please relax for now and you need not ungo these tests again, unless you are having some symptoms. hope it helps.
