How do I get A free full body ct scan?
My Aunt had tumors at 18, my mother had a few tumors throughout her life. I am 30 with no insurance. I have NEVER been checked and I am showing signs of brain , back , and bowel tumors according to wrong diagnosis .com . What do I do to get scanned? I would pay installments for peace of mind.

- i am sorry about your family and its good to be health conscious but it honestly sounds like yyou have an anxiety or ocd problem... dont use the internet to self diagnose! if something bothers you just see your dr and they will refer you for scans if they think it is appropriate
- A full body CT scan exposes you to the equivalent of 40-60 Xrays. If you're worried about cancer, you take a bigger risk with that exposure than is worth the possible, and highly debatable, "early detection" factor. No one does full body scans for free, unless it's part of some sort of clinical trial. If you think you have symptoms, go to a doctor. No one can diagnose themselves accurately from a web site.
- All the answers are telling you to go to a doctor when you say you don't have insurance. Unfortunately they may turn out to be 100% correct but, I'd like to suggest one other possibility. First, drop the requirement for a "full body scan" and let a treating doctor determine what tests are called for and to get to that treating doctor, try calling the local branch of the American Cancer Society describing your fears to them. It's only a possibility but they may be able to help you or refer you to help. Best of luck to you.
- I agree with Peter. Also you need to stay off those self diagnosis websites. I can type in snotty nose and get all sorts of illnesses. Some people, lordy. What are your brain tumor symptoms? You must be constipated or have bloody hemorroids to think bowel tumors.
- see your doctor!
