The only time I can see this going wrong is some cancers are miniscule and die out on their own. The test probably isn't that sensitive though. That and usually the reason the cancer cells die out and don't spread is a lack of access to blood anyway.

I find this fascinating

I feel like I am the pinnacle of not settling in life right now. I left my husband, for many reasons but mainly because he emotionally neglected me for years and had no real intent of changing that. I am working towards a new career after years of being a stay-at-home mom (nothing wrong with that but I never wanted to stay home as long as I did and got trapped in circumstance and serving others). I have a boyfriend I'm absolutely nuts about. I am getting in better shape than I have been for years. In ten years I hope I can look back from a comfortable, accomplished place and say this period in my life was a fantastic phase of decision making and hard work.

Easily one of the more unnerving parts of lotr. I still hold a special place in my heart for the mines or moria though. When I first read about that I was prone to staying up late reading after everyone else had gone to bed. Alone in a silent, dark world. Reading about the drums in the deep....in a still world, alone.
