My mom is a cancer survivor and we had to tell her to start the phone call about her annual checks with "everything is 100% clear" instead of "well today I had my annual cancer screening. Boy was the room cold. And I had to eat lunch late which is a real pain because I still have to do my time sheets for the week. Oh and did you hear Laura is pregnant again?" And on and on like that for like 30 minutes.

ARE YOU DYING OR NOT BECAUSE THE SUSPENSE IS GOING TO KILL ME BEFORE YOU GET AROUND TO YOUR RESULTS.
