if this guy's numbers are right, the number of false positives is huge, i knew it was large, but i hadn't realized quite how large, most of the time these turn out to be cysts or some otherwise benign structure

this actually happened w. someone in my family, yeah, they were just some benign cysts that have never amounted to anything

i'll keep my fingers crossed that the same is true for you
