Thank you for saving my life. Your television advertising inspired me to get the scan. I had just recently retired and moved to our retirement home in Maine. Part of the move meant getting a new doctor. During our first meeting I told her about my previous smoking history and Saved by the Scan advertisement, she immediately scheduled the scan.
The scan was quick and painless. Even though I had no symptoms low and behold a small mass was discovered in my lower right lobe. The pathology showed it was in fact a cancer. Because it was discovered so early, all surrounding tissue and lymph nodes were clear and I was considered cancer free! It was classified a type 1A.
