It sounds like it’s a one time thing but I don’t know what the data says about how long it is effect  Previous Message  Previous Message  Previous Message and do any and all screenings covered by insurance/suggested by your doctor. Colonoscopy, PSA blood tests, Mammograms, etc.  Previous Message https://prenuvo.com/ I had a friend die of kidney cancer 15 years ago. He was 45….the age I am now. Hit him hard and fast and he was gone in 3 months. He found out at stage 4 and it was spreading everywhere and it was too late to beat it. Ever since then I thought why don’t people get full body MRIs to detect this stuff early…..fast forward to 6 months ago….the Villainess found Prenuvo that does full body MRIs for early detection stuff like this. We decided to get scans for our anniversary. Mine showed I had stage 1 kidney cancer. It was still “relatively” small and hadn’t begun to spread so 6 months later I’m sitting here in a recovery bed with a great chance I’m now cancer free (will get confirmation in about 5 weeks after the follow up scan). I had no symptoms and wouldn’t have known if not for the Prenuvo MRI. In 2-5 years it likely would have been a very different story if it would have remained undetected. To say I’m grateful is an understatement. I feel like my old buddy Ashley was watching out for me up above. All this to say to you guys, if you have the means, please consider getting a scan yourself. It wasn’t cheap, but if you can swing about $2,500 it’s actually a really great deal to see if you have any underlying issues. There is obviously some selection bias in the people that are choosing to get these full body MRIs (family history, etc), but Prenuvo is finding cancer or potential aneurisms in 5% of their scans. It was worth it to me prior to getting the news I had cancer to spend the money for some peace of mind, but now I’m fully on the bandwagon for a scan every few years to catch anything early.
