Yes! The fact is: If your cancer diagnosis is based on an ultrasound, it could easily be wrong.
Many people who are told they have cancer based on an ultrasound might not actually have cancer – because an ultrasound can’t tell if a tumor is cancerous!
Or, you might be told that you don’t have cancer, based on an ultrasound, when in fact you do have it. Ultrasounds are unreliable when it comes to diagnosing cancer, for many reasons.
So, right from the start, if your doctor is saying to you, "you have cancer" based on an ultrasound alone, you won’t know if it’s true or not.
It will be impossible for you to know what your next choices should be, because you don’t know what’s actually going on in your body. You don’t have nearly enough information to know, with confidence, what to do next.
And you just want to stop for a moment, to take a second to breathe and think...
But you don’t have time for that.
You need to make choices about your diagnosis and cancer treatment, now. But these are things that you don’t know anything about...and yet will impact your life, forever.
It’s not fair...and it’s terrifying.
You’re smack in the middle of one of the hardest situations anyone can be put in...
You need to make instant decisions that will determine your future and life – without knowing anything about what’s actually happening in your body and what all of your options are.
How on earth would you know what to do?
And the catch 22, the problem of it all, is that you need to have confidence in your choices if you are to have any peace of mind during this process.

"Alex was just so positive – we enjoyed our phone calls with him because we talked to him, we were always like, 'okay, we can do this!' There was always hope after we talked to him. There was always something we could be doing more of. You know, drink your green tea, take all your nutraceuticals…there was just always, always something positive."

And, on top of all this, there are even more reasons why you should not rely on an ultrasound to give you an accurate diagnosis – because there are far better diagnostic tests available to you now, tests that will give you certainty about your diagnosis and the info you need to get exactly the right treatment to knock out the cancer asap. A fast, accurate, and precise diagnosis is critical for giving yourself the best chance at beating cancer.
So if you’ve received a cancer diagnosis based on an ultrasound test, it is very reasonable for you to need more information in order to know what next steps you should take for treatment. It is fair and smart of you to wonder if there’s anything more you should be doing to ensure you have more control over your health and your future.
Even for the best of us, a cancer diagnosis is incredibly overwhelming and scary!
You are in excellent company if you, too, feel so overwhelmed with your diagnosis that you can’t even imagine trying to figure out the next steps to figuring out how to make sure your diagnosis is accurate and then finding the best possible treatment. Where would you even start, right?

We hear you and we understand. And our team is here to help you get through this with as little stress, and as much confidence and clarity, as possible.
We believe that knowledge is power.

"You should hire somebody like CTOAM that can help you get this [genetic testing, personalized research, and advocacy] done. All I wanted to do was to be able to say to my family that I’ve done the best I could. And, with CTOAM, I know I have."

"Thank you very much for the discussion we had yesterday. Alex was very clear and helpful. He made sense of bits of information we already had and brought a lot of new information we didn't know about it. We do appreciate his knowledge and effort to help us a lot. A big thank you to you, too, because you made this discussion happen...and for all the support we may need in the future!"
– Nina Ostend, client
"Let me thank you for the time you and Alex spent with us the other evening. We were impressed with your knowledge, professionalism, caring, and obvious passion for what you do."
– Marge and Gary Hildebrand, client
"I was impressed with the research and knowledge Alex has. He’s explained everything along the way; I’ve come to trust him implicitly. He always gives me hope, which is a huge benefit."

While ultrasounds are typically still the first step in the standard cancer diagnosis process, they are far less detailed and informative than other imaging tools. Ultrasounds use sound waves to create images of the inside of the body: a transducer (probe) transmits high-frequency sound waves into the body and captures the sound waves that bounce back to produce the image.
Generally speaking, ultrasounds are unable to provide sufficient detail about tumours in the body – especially compared to PET/CT scans. This lack of key data can lead to misdiagnosis, as well as basing treatment off of informed guesswork rather than facts.
"I used to be afraid of getting cancer, but reading about all the resources you can now use against it makes me feel much better. Keep up the good work!"
– Gladys Neudorf
"My father is doing very well. He just had his appointment with his oncologist who gave him a glowing report. Best possible outcome. I am sure that the immunotherapy was instrumental in his cancer being undetectable a year after diagnosis…especially without surgery. We are confident that this good report will continue into the future. We are very grateful for your help and do believe more people should have access to this treatment [Keytruda]. We hope this will make the treatment more accessible, too. Once again, thank you so much."

So with all of these problems, why are ultrasounds still being used as the primary diagnostic tool for cancer? Because:
Ultrasounds are currently used in standard cancer treatment as the primary diagnostic tool because they’re cost effective and quick to arrange.
However, there is a much more powerful imaging tool for cancer diagnosis: the PET/CT scan, which stands for Positron Emission Tomography – Computed Tomography. A PET/CT scan can pinpoint exactly where the cancer is in your body, how aggressive it is, as well as observe the outcome of cancer treatment – making it an essential diagnostic tool in fact-based cancer treatment. Please read more about the benefits of PET/CT scans to ensure that you can make an informed decision about what diagnostic tools to use.
