Debra, no issue is too little to shake us up! New information seems to rattle us even when we're doing great! I found from my experience that the peope who call to tell us that stuff are using robots in white and don't have any sense of what we interpret this to be! It happened to me when I had a mass. a few months ago. They gave me the pat call and scared me silly! It was nothing, but I still got the "one flavor for everyone call"!
Take a deep breath and trust in your good health til they tell you something different! Bet you got one of those one flavor for everyone call too! But I totally understand! Please let us know what they say! We'll be worrying and praying along with you! Best wishes for GREAT Health! mary anne
