Hopefully this isn’t breaking rules. Yes it is a veiled attempt at advice because I’ve been hemming and hawing. But the question can be answered purely as is. There are obviously pros and cons so I’d like to know how you all feel.

Thank you.

    I would go with the second part of your message here and skip it UNLESS you are having symptoms and think there is really something the scans missed.

    I actually had an incidental scan, was getting a “Coronary Artery Scan” because I’ve had always high cholesterol - it came back perfect, no buildup but they found benign little masses in my liver - doctor says absolutely normal and I understand why they would look (free knowledge for me) but I think I would be a little better off not knowing that.
