The Doctor Said I'm Not Gonna Die

The verdict is in. Last week's test reveals no evidence of cancer, no evidence of infection, just narrowed airways in the right lung. Duh.... that's what the CT scan showed and that's what everyone--me and three doctors--know already. But as to what's causing the narrowing of the airways, it's still a puzzle.

So what's next? Steroids. We need to get the airways to open up. My only fear is getting chest hair and growing a moustache. The doctor assured me that it's not a concern, but I want to make sure. On the plus side, I might be able to join the circus if that happens. Are bearded ladies still an attraction at Barnum and Bailey?

I shouldn't be complaining. After all, the doctor said I'm not gonna die.
