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.
