Mr. Beckstein, let me take a moment to look at your chart.

Here are the results from my last Colonscopy.

OK.

Here are my CEA lab tests from 2007.

OK.

I had a CAT scan in March 2007, and there was no evidence of cancer.

I see that. No evidence of disease.

It has been five years since my colon cancer diagnosis.

Mr. Beckstein, you are done.

What.

You are done with cancer.

No more CEA tests?

Yes every six months but you will need a reading of 10 before I would be concerned.

What about CAT scans?

You really don’t have to go through that test anymore.

So I am done with cancer?

Yes. Doug you are done.

I left the doctor’s office a free man.
