history: I was waiting to find out some lab results. I wasn't sure if they would diagnose me with cancer.  I had to have some blood work recently to see if I had cancer... It was so nerve wracking waiting for the results. 
current: oh that is terrible, it feels like your life is changing so fast, did everything turn out ok?
next: Thanks. Yes, it turns out I didn't have cancer. I was so relieved.
