My old onc. was a "wait for symptoms" man. When he retired I had not been scanned for 1 1/2 years and my counts were perfect. I felt great and boy did I have nice hair again! When my onc. retired I had to find someone new. When my new onc. saw that I had not been scanned in a while he ordered a PET and found 2 lesions on my liver. Finding them early led me to treatments (RFA) that would not have been possible if they had been larger in size or number. Scans freak us all out. Ignorance is bliss, but it doesn't change what may or may not be in our bodies. I guess we all have to make our own choices that best fit our needs. I firmly believe early detection saved my life, or at leasted extended it. God bless you all.
