A fit and healthy social media executive who was diagnosed with cancer after completing a half marathon has revealed the three major red flags he missed.
“Up until I finished the Sydney Half Marathon, I did not have any official symptoms,” he told his followers on social media. His astuteness led to a series of medical probes, including blood tests, ultrasounds, PET and CT scans, and tissue biopsies, which ultimately confirmed the advanced stage of his cancer.“I would add every six-month rotation to go and get your blood work done just to make sure your levels are all in check.“If you want to take it one step further, talk to a doctor about getting an ultrasound of your body done just to make sure there are no sinister things going on.
“Great share mate. Super valuable intel. Thank your mate for normalizing and sharing all of this info,” wrote another.
