    There’s no such thing as a non-invasive test.

    Even if there were zero risks for the actual procedure, and they’re just doing it for the fuck of it, what happens if they find a little abnormality? Now you need a biopsy, more scans, and possibly treatment for something that doesn’t show any symptoms and never would have.

      Words have meanings: non-invasive test

      Follow-up tests may be invasive. That’s not relevant to the definition of “non-invasive test”.

      Being scared of the possibility of finding something also is not relevant to the definition.
