I have an MRI booked for October. They found a nodule on my liver about 6 years ago. It wasn't cancer but they weren't real sure what it was so I get an ultrasound every 2 years to make sure it hasn't grown. My doctor retired and the new one wants to make sure, my blood test might have shown something because they booked the MRI. We had a dog for 16 1/2 years who liked to eat gophers, squirrels etc.
I reckon the stress caused by 4 years of NDP could weaken an immune system enough
