'No Significant Abnormalities' in previous MRI

Hi guys, I've just been putting away a load of old letters from clinic appointments and drs and came across the letter to my GP from a scan I had in February. The letter states there are no 'significant abnormalities'. At first, I didn't even read the letter because the doctor had told me there were no concerns.

I'm just now realising that the wording suggest there were abnormalities, but no really significant ones. Considering how thyroid cancer was missed in scans/tests my dad had years ago led to him dying a few years later because it wasn't diagnosed, I'm a little concerned. The reasoning at that time was that 'they weren't looking for that' and it just wasn't passed over to the relevant department.

I'm suffering a raft of symptoms that I'm currently in the process of being looked at for having a B12 deficiency and autoimmune disorders but that wording just concerned me.

Thanks

    A doctor very close friend revealed that his patient died because the radiologist missed an obvious cancer.
