Do Normal Results Mean That There Is No Risk For Cancer?
I am a survivor of lung cancer with a family history of colon cancer. My blood tests came back normal and I'm being referred for colonoscopy due to my symptoms. Does normal results mean that there is no risk for cancer? My first diagnosis was prompted due to elevated white blood cell count.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You high wbc count may be due to some infection.
Your blood test is normal so there is no evidence of cancer in that blood test. But it does not mean that you don't have any cancer at other site. You should go for colonoscopy to rule out colin cancer.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
