I show up for my annual physical and am pronounced healthy.
This is the first page of so many cancer stories.
Weight: 161.8 lbs.
Blood pressure: 120/70
Temperature: 98.1
Oxygen in blood: 96%
Dr. Wolford does a breast exam and reminds me to get my annual mammogram.
She suggests getting the vaccination against shingles: Zostavax - $245.
Blood samples are taken to check on things like whether I might be developing late-onset diabetes.
No big deal--just another annual physical--but actually I have cancer in my left breast, and it's been growing for about a year.
