How to discover cancer early without screening though?

I understand that's a rare occurrence, but you still wished for that early screening if you are the one with it

Everyone I know who had cancer (and that is a large and increasingly growing list...) found out about it because they went in to the doctor for a non-routine appointment because they felt pain, or felt a lump, or had a weird reaction to a vaccine, or whatever else. Even early stage cancer can produce symptoms, and luckily most of those people survived.

Interesting, I thought some of them were asymptomatic

Some may be, but all I know is that some definitely aren't.
