Glad it was low grade. I kind of like the postcard approach in the absence of a medical system with the luxury of time to call you in for an appointment and tell you your test results. At least know what the answer is rather than having to hassle to get the results and then wait for ever for an appointment (at least here in Montreal its like that). Glad too that you have a sense of humour - I kind of think its the only way to go on things like this. Long may you be free of uninvted guests !

I too get postcards and emails regarding my health care visits, but cannot believe that this is the way one would be informed about something as scary as cancer! What were they thinking? Glad you're ok and also glad I found your blog because I really enjoy your writing style. Thanks, Robin Ogden http://www.firedupcareers.com Ann,
