Yeah, no. A doctor that I had a feeling wasn't paying too close attention to what I was saying ordered a pelvic/abdominal CT with and without contrast, ~30-40 mSv. Nothing turned up on the scans. When I went back he said "nothing's wrong" and, confused, I described my symptoms again. He just said "Oh! You need physical therapy." Two weeks of physical therapy and I was fine. At the time I was mad about the money, now I'm just thinking "what a dumb way to (maybe) get gut cancer." I was young. I thought I was scheduled for an MRI like the one I had for my sinuses. I didn't even know what a was CT at the time. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

On the other side of the coin, my always healthy dad did 6 weeks of physical therapy for hip joint pain that turned out to be cancer, which was immediately detected when they finally decided to perform a CT scan. He passed away almost exactly 1 year later at 46 years old. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
