rfmcdonaldMy appointment with the doctor this afternoon to discuss my CAT scan went well.
It turned out that the X-ray technicians who suspected I had sarcoidosis read too much into the X-ray, and that I've nothing worse than a simple cough. No exotic strain of drug-resistant tuberculosis fresh from the former Soviet Union, no metastazing lung cancer, no P. carinii, no exotic auto-immune disease, nothing still more baroque.
I was surprised by how relieved I felt, since I'd expected a fairly grim report. I think that I might be a bit of a hypochondriac.
