I wouldn't argue we should roll this out to everyone. But I am glad it exists. I commented earlier in this topic about how it caught cancer in my wife at the age of 44. She didn't have to go through chemo or radiation treatment because it was caught so early. Surgery removed the whole cancer.

Additionally for me, I have a scan that shows what my body currently has. I had something show up that I did get a scope to check out that was a pancreatic rest. No big deal. Now, if I ever have another MRI and somethings is somewhere else, we have a baseline to compare against. Everything is a risk calculation. When I did my MRI, I also had other procedures done like a heart calcium score.

I will get a little more personal. We didn't do it out of the blue. My wife and I decided we want to live on a sailboat. That was a big purchase for us and boats take a long time to sell. We didn't want to commit to such a purchase then 1 year later find out either of us had cancer then we have the stress of cancer and the stress of trying to sell a boat.

I would never suggest everyone do it, but I am happy we did.
