Ken

While the news is great, the doctor who diagnosed you without a CT a

year ago should have his medical license revoked. It took us one read to

tell you that you had no diagnosis and must have a CT and yet someone

had the audacity to make you go a year thinking you did. It's

intolerable. But glad for the good news and remember how precious life

felt for that year and use each year forward with that in mind.
