Relief

The report is in, the news is good. It doesn't look like cancer.

Yesterday I wrote about waiting for my Dad's CAT scan results. Preliminary results look good, they don't think it's anything to be too concerned about, but they're going to refer him to a second pulmonologist for a 2nd opinion, just to be sure. I like doctors who voluntarily do things like that.

In six months he'll go for another scan, just to make sure the nodules (I guess there was more than one) aren't growing or changing in any suspicious way. But they suspect they've been there for some time, perhaps ever since Dad worked in the mills as a young man.

All in all, very welcome news.
