Thank You Digger0,

Note... I put this over on the Pinned Posts👍. I like to describe a cancer fight like it's a game of poker. Cancer shows up to play you. You have no choice but to play. There are no rules. Cancer brings his own cards. Your job is to gather cards to beat cancer's cards. Faith, attitude, strong support, good doctors, genetics, pharma are all cards you have to obtain. And things like this blood test represent another card to play.

I hate to see the efforts that have to be overcome to get a colonoscopy. Not just for diagnosis but also for surveillance procedures. All are important. This blood test is definitely useful for surveillance and will help give peace of mind to patients. It will more than likely help those with other tumor types, Not just bowel cancer.

Awesome. Thank you for sharing.
