After multiple tests my General Practitioner wanted to visit with me and go over them with me:

1. My blood pressure was 120 over 74.
2. My pulse was 71.
3. My thyroid reading was normal.
4. The CT Scan with contrast on my brain and vision areas were clean.
5. The CT Scan with contrast on my body cavity had the following to report - a few very small kidney stones but nothing to worry about - a small dark spot on the lungs but again, nothing to worry about.
6. Blood vessels seemed to be clear of plaque.
7. And finally, the cancerous spot on my upper left arm had a biopsy reporting the area around the surgery was cancer free!

He decided to talk to my Neurologist, Dr. Maas about the dosage of the medication I am taking for the double vision.  Dr. Gaggar said they normally use a steroid but that is if one's legs are weakening.  I do two miles on the tread mill so he felt that maybe I wouldn't need the steroids.  The top Neurologist form U. C. Medical Center will not be available until sometime in March and that seems a long ways off to wait for a professional opinion on my sight problem.
