Well it wasn't intended to offend, but if that is the way you took it
what can I do? As I said, I've personally given up worrying about all
the little do-dad things that Dr's like to drop around. Especially
things like "mild case of X" or "slight indication of Y".

They had me running around in circles because they found something on
a kidney while doing an X-Ray and my Dr sounded all ominous over the
phone saying I needed to come into the office to discuss the issue as
she wouldn't over the phone. Three tests later, Cat Scan, Ultra-Sound
& MRI and all it is is a water filled cyst, no BFD nothing at all they
can do about it. Oh and what was she all hush mouthed about? The MRI
revealed degenerative disk disease, another big whoop if ya got it ya
got it. Comes from walking around upright. Nothing they can do about
that either.

You can worry yourself sick about ominous looks, soft spoken words,
side glances and of course the issuance of new tests, but guess what?
It is going to be what it is, so why worry? If it is serious it is
obviously not that far advanced to be seen clearly so that is good,
and it could be all over a smudge so why worry? Unless of course you
like worrying, personally I find it a waste of time.
