I was going into my gym, and on the ramp there was a doctor taking a break. He looked at me, and said "Good morning. Beautiful day."
To which I replied, "Yes, it is."
He said "How're you doing?"
And I replied with a tiny pause "I'm ...OK."
"OK?"
I stopped then, and looked at him. I said "I'm going in tomorrow for a repeat mammogram."
He looked distressed. I continued "4 years ago, I had a papilloma removed from the same side. They told me it was a pre-cancer."
He nodded "Yes."
He went on to say "Those happen all the time. It wouldn't be any use for me to tell you not to worry, would it?"
"It sure wouldn't!" I said, as I proceeded inside...
But...
He had succeeded in making me, a complete stranger, feel better...
You just never know when or how you can help someone...
