If you ever think something might be wrong, and even if TWO doctors and one physician’s assistant on THREE separate medical visits tell you it’s probably nothing, but the feeling that something is definitely wrong does not go away, INSIST on getting a biopsy or test or ultrasound or whatever diagnostic procedure is available to you.

Because that is what happened to me in the past month, and unfortunately I was right. And a tiny, nagging Jewish paranoid voice in my head saved my life.
