We all do worry a...So glad you're healthy, Tom! We all do worry at this age when we've seen things go very wrong for too many friends. It's still hard to wrap one's mind around the fact that good health at our ages is a relative term. I remember a doctor trying to reassure me about a throat condition I had about 10 years ago by saying "Oh, we often see this in the elderly." Elderly??<br />I was in my late fifties at the time. I remember saying "But I'm only 57..." And the doctor, age 33, said "Yes and...?" But I'm so glad for your good news -- whether or not it came with qualifications!Dr. Kathy McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903015507894951725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-8454292594950301612014-02-20T15:19:40.465-05:002014-02-20T15:19:40.465-05:00Congrats on passing the test.

My doc said he was very concerned I had lung cancer and ordered a full CT. No problems showed up. That was eight years ago. You'll most likely be with us for a long time. Nice to have you around!Dick Kladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11793395712483278104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-58002565229878206252014-02-19T19:29:49.730-05:002014-02-19T19:29:49.730-05:00That's great!

Is it my time? I would have reacted to the doctor saying that he's much less worried than he was. Yikes, Tom. Glad you hear it is all just fine, for someone your age anyway. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-23227858553486684612014-02-19T17:48:33.826-05:002014-02-19T17:48:33.826-05:00Happy to hear you are OK.
