"Picked up on early stage cancer that I ignored"

The GP I saw recently picked up on some vague complaint that I mentioned casually and did not feel important. She then suggested I’d have a scan just to check, and to my great shock early stage cancer was detected, for which I am being fast-tracked for surgery in a week’s time. So in my case she may very well have saved my life or has at least improved my chances dramatically. In my experience everyone has been more than kind and helpful at this surgery.
