To Chris.

Hey Chris, I know it's easier said than done not to worry. But like John was saying, genetics matter, but they're not everything. Clearly you take good care of yourself. Doctors get all wiggy about stuff because they can't know that everyone is taking care of themselves the way they should. You're not your family history, which is all your doctor has to go on at this point. It sounds like it's just a test and just a precaution.

You know we're all thinking of you, and you've got a whole address book of folks (including me) you can talk to anytime you need to.
