It's good news, with some interesting details.

Today was a good day. No signs of cancer, yeah.
The MRI of my back (my back has been giving me discomfort and I was beginning
to get suspicious of cancer returning there) instead it showed that I have arthritis in three parts of my spine, several bulging discs;mostly down in the pelvic region, and signs of chronic degeneration in much of the vertebrae. But this was all good news for me, as I was half expecting much worse.

I also met with a respiratory specialist who has determined that I have
serious asthma, also a chronic condition that I will have to treat every
day of my life; or else it could become a life threatening situation. This was
a bit of a shock to me, I knew I had some asthma issues, but I had no idea
how bad. This helps to explain many other issues I've had, like the aching
in the my chest, that they have given me anti-anxiety drugs for, and that an
inhaler cures;( I just believed them when they said it was anxiety, I thought
yes of course I could have some anxiety issues, who wouldn't?!?
I'm glad it's all figured out now. I certianly can LIVE with these things:)
