When Something Feels Wrong, Speak Up: Why Early Cancer Screening Matters

At Scantibodies Imaging and Therapy, we believe that no one should have to wait months—or worse, suffer needlessly—before getting answers about their health. And yet, too often, people are told their symptoms aren’t serious, or they’re brushed off with “wait and see.”

Georgia O’Connor’s Story: A Reminder to Trust Yourself

Georgia O’Connor, a talented professional boxer, recently passed away at just 25 years old. After suffering a miscarriage, she began experiencing troubling symptoms—yet, according to her own account, doctors dismissed her concerns for four months. It wasn’t until much later that she was diagnosed with cancer. Sadly, by then, it was too late.

Her story is heartbreaking. And while every situation is different, Georgia’s experience underscores an important truth: you are your own best advocate.

When something doesn’t feel right, it’s okay to ask for more answers. It’s okay to look into advanced screening options like a Full Body PET/CT scan—especially when your body is trying to tell you something.

What Is a PET/CT Scan—and How Can It Help?

A PET/CT scan is a powerful tool that combines two advanced imaging technologies—positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT)—to give a detailed view of how your body is functioning. It can detect abnormal activity at a cellular level, even before physical symptoms become obvious.

It’s commonly used in cancer diagnosis and management, but more and more people are using it as a proactive step for early cancer screening.

You Don’t Need a Referral to Take Charge of Your Health

You don’t need to wait for someone to give you permission to care about your health. If you’re feeling unsure, worried, or just want answers, you can schedule a Full Body PET/CT scan on your own—with the support of one of our physicians to guide you through the process.

We always recommend that scans be discussed with a healthcare provider, and at Scantibodies Imaging and Therapy, we’re here to make sure you’re informed every step of the way. Our doctors will review your symptoms, explain what the scan can show, and help you make the best choice for your health.

Be Proactive. Be Empowered.

Georgia O’Connor’s tragic story is a reminder that time matters—and that it’s okay to trust your gut and ask for more. Our goal isn’t to scare you. It’s to empower you. To give you access to the kind of technology that can help provide answers—before symptoms become severe.

Whether you’re:

  • Dealing with unexplained symptoms
  • Recovering from a recent health scare
  • Living with a family history of cancer
  • Just want peace of mind

—you have options. And one of those is a Full Body PET/CT scan.

Cancer doesn’t always come with symptoms. In fact, many cancers develop silently, growing for months or even years before showing obvious signs.
