I agree with you, Kelly. All the logic I can dredge up points to the wisdom of checking often and early and. as you say, to catch one small tumor before it turns into several. I would have attributed the less-testing approach to a sort of European medical passivity, fatalism almost, (so different form my American proactive instincts) except for the NIH confirmation. If anyone has understood why bi-annual standard testing is as effective as more frequent higher-tech scanning, please let us know.

Thanks,
Tessa
