Congratulations on your good report.
I know I'm off topic, but I want to use my response to advise women over 60 to never stop getting your Pap exam. Doctors are telling older women that you don't need to keep getting the test done. My sister believed her doctor and quit getting her PAP test. Then she had an issue and went to PP and got a PAP test. She found out she had cervical cancer. She died 2 years after getting her diagnosis due to her blood not being strong enough to continue getting her chemo. Had she had her yearly test, she'd still be alive.
Get your tests done ladies. I'm 80 and I get my mamo and PAP done yearly and will continue to do so.
