A member asked:
Ct scan next week for upper abdominal pain and suspected 1 cm angiomyolipoma on left kidney, scared they will find cancer somewhere in my body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely. : Although always a possibility, people in their 30s have a lower risk of cancer in general. Even if something negative is found it is mostly always better to find disease sooner than later. No reason to be scared.
