I haven't experienced such kind of check before. I think it is the way which can have an accurate result. But the disadvantage is it's painful. I wonder whether there can be another checking method which is less painful. Perhaps checking it every year is not so necessary, compares to the painful feeling. Perhaps checking it every three years is alright. But it's good for you to have such kind of check freely. It is good for the people. This is a good policy. As you know, the health care fee is higher and higher and many people can't afford to have a body check. I am glad that your government does something good for the people. I love China

If you are healthy,there is no need to suffer this kind of thing like laparoscope,it is surely feel terrible ,the tube of the camera will hurt your esophagus,it may make you difficult to swallow for sevral days in my mind. For the liver cancer examination,the blood examination is enough or not? I am scared by the method of checking!

I think you should go through with the examination. You are fortunate you have a free examination yearly..we don't have that here in the Philippines. I dread having cancer of the liver. The disease progresses so fast. And as they say... prevention and early detection is better than cure!
