Like Becky said, Pandora's Box can be a troublesome thing indeed. I hate bore everyone with my story again, but it is a cautionary tale. Basically, I had a chronic cough and I lighted up some lung scans. The next thing, I was having a surgical biopsy which was positive for lung cancer so they removed a lobe of my lung. A few days later, I was told it was all a big mistake and the biopsy was wrong! It was just an old pneumonia.
My point is, scans can "over read" things but once they do, it has to be followed up. And then people can get overly vigilant because they dont want to miss anything.
I think this is part of the argument why routine scans can be as much of a problem as they can be of help.
The other part of my message is to keep the faith because even when things look grim they are not always what they seem, at all.
