Body Scan Results

I finally got my body scan results and guess what... I'm very healthy!  The doctor scores your heart anywhere from 0-100, 0 being perfect and 100 being you should probably already be dead.  Here's my numbers: Lesions: 0, Calcium: 0, Plaque: 0!!!  Yay!  The report concludes: "Examination has found no measurable coronary atherosclerotic plaque. The current risk of developing heart disease is very low: probably less than 5%".  Good news !

I do have a small cyst on my thyroid and a follow-up thyroid ultrasound is recommended in 3 months just to confirm stability.  I also have a small benign hemangioma in the L5 vertebral body and adrenal calcifications consistent with previous remote trauma or infection, but both the thyroid and calcifications were described as having "no clinical significance".

So basically, it's a clean bill of health. I guess the hundreds of miles I've run over the years have paid off! This does bring me some peace of mind. I felt a little weight lift off my shoulders when I read the report.  Now if I could just get a little more weight off my thighs...
