After my gall bladder surgery in early 2014, I got to thinking…could the doctor have checked the other organs (e.g. pancreas, liver, et al) while doing the removal procedure for my gall bladder? How do I know if I have early stages of cancer in my body? The more I thought about this, the more I wanted to learn more. So I started following the news stories that had anything to do with early cancer detection. This article gave me a real shot in the arm when I read it in early 2015. Since then, I have been reading and researching many different articles on early cancer detection. Being a computer engineer, this is challenging, since I didn’t pay a whole lot of attention in chemistry class…and I never had a college level biology class. So, a kind associate let me borrow his medical terminology book so that I could learn. Always be a learner!
