Charlie,
Brother, don't even go there! Don't you DARE start thinking negative stuff.
With HIPPA, they can't breathe a word of anything via telephone even if they are positive they're talking to YOU!
This could be the bestest news you've had since this crud started, just as easily as it could be something of a challenge.
We've all prayed they'd find something "treatable" instead of this mystery malaise, so let's keep the focus, buddy!
This is going to be GREAT news! They've found something and they want to treat it ASAP and get you on the road to recovery and a fuller life!
OK!?!
Love ya brother. We're going to be like two clappers in a bell bumpin off each other at B'more laughin and enjoying our renewed (if not somewhat subdued)(cause it will be a short time from now) changed lease on life together.
I'm excited for you! Besides, fretting does nothing but robs you of joy and energy. It's in HIS hands!
Keep the Son in your eyes!
