A Houston mom wanted to get a full body MRI scan to have her perfect health on paper, only to be surprised with a shocking and potentially deadly discovery.

The mother of two took to TikTok to share her troubling story. "I had a full-body MRI just for fun. No symptoms whatsoever," she shared.
Blackburn said that she and her husband found out about Prenuvo. This is a special MRI procedure that allegedly can "catch conditions before they become crises," according to their website. It's $2,500 and not covered by insurance, but you can't put a price on health.
Well, Prenuvo just did, but we'll ignore that.
I suppose it's a good thing she went, considering what the scans unearthed.
She wanted to treat the procedure like a "spa day," considering she wasn't worried about her results, and took selfies in her scrubs and watched Netflix. She was incredibly complimentary about Prenuvo and the experience they offered outside of getting the scan done.
After the scan, four days later, she got her test results. And they turned her world upside down.
Mom Faced With Two Splenic Artery Aneurysm After Unassuming MRI Scan
Blackburn was faced with two splenic artery aneurysms, which can be fatal (1 in 3 chance) should they rupture.
Feeling as though she was harboring a "ticking time bomb," she rushed to get opinions from several doctors. Ultimately, she had to get her spleen removed.
Thankfully, the mom is okay now, living just fine without her spleen. Considering the crushing reality of having two life-threatening aneurysms after feeling perfectly fine, Blackburn has expressed that she's suffering from "health anxiety" now.
This has put her in two minds about recommending the Prenuvo procedure to others. However, that hasn't stopped her from promoting Prenuvo in her TikTok bio with a promotional discount code.
I'm unsure if all Prenuvo patients become paid ambassadors for the procedure, but it suddenly makes sense why she was so positive about the facility.
Considering a follow-up video where she claimed she isn't being sponsored, it's likely the commission link was provided to Blackburn after telling her story. However, it still comes across as a little strange.
Even though she said she went into the scan with no intentions of finding anything, she later discussed how she "diagnosed" [herself] with 17 different things" before the scan.
I think you can pick up what I'm skeptically putting down.
