Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 30-year-old female. I had a friend who was healthy all the time. Recently a few months ago, she had stomach pain, and then follow-ups showed she had stage 4 adenocarcinoma. She passed away. I am traumatized by that incident. How do I believe that a very healthy person suddenly gets diagnosed with such an illness? Ever since I heard of her, I have been worried that some other day, I will get any of those diseases. How do I know I am not having any of those conditions? I am having PCOS, and can this be a predisposing factor?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concern. Cancer screening is a very helpful tool to know about any risks. I would suggest you undergo cancer screening if you have any predisposing factor or any family history of cancer. Excess weight, bad dietary habits, a sedentary lifestyle, and comorbid conditions are a few predisposing factors. I hope you find this helpful. Feel free to get back for more queries.
Thank you.
