Hello and Welcome, Wil,
How ironic indeed that you are a cc survivor and in the field of medical physics! I have a feeling we can learn as much or more from you as you can from us about early diagnosis. This is a critical area of research as it is the best chance for survival until they develop better therapies for more advanced cc.
So glad to hear you had surgery and are doing well. Please post links to interesting findings on early diagnosis you come up with. Meanwhile, perhaps contact board members from The cc Foundation to find out more about who is doing work on early diagnosis as they know many leading researchers in the field.
Salud!
Willow
