A member asked:
Does cancer always show up in blood tests if you have it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Unless you're anemic (low blood count) or have leukemia, basic blood tests won't show cancer. If you have true concerns, perhaps because of family tendencies, speak with your doctor. Good luck
