"GRANDMA, WHAT BIG EYES YOU HAVE?"

  The last time I heard someone say to me "this looks suspicious" it was 2009 and I was having a mammogram.  That suspicious turned out to be stage one breast cancer.  Thank the Lord is was caught early and after surgery, radiation and medication, my last mammogram showed me still cancer free.   Today, I had a Glaucoma screening as part of the preventative medicine provided by my insurance.  After the screening she said "this looks suspicious"! I really don't like to hear that. I will have a couple more tests and then see what the results are and the treatment.  She said it can be treated with drops, an we have a friend who prefers surgery every couple of years to daily drops!   I like to be on top of things, so will find out December 13th what my prognosis is.  Anybody out there familiar with this??   Picture from googleimages.com
