I recently went through a similar situation. The hardest part is waiting for test results, blood work, Biopsy results, MRI and CT feedback and the like. I wish I had a solution for you but the only suggestion I can give is to see if you can find the "on/off switch" to your brains "worry mode" and turn it off or pause it for awhile so you can think straight. All the worrying in the world didn't stop my "C" tests from coming back positive but it did make me realize that I can live through it. The more you go through the stronger you get as you learn to deal with whatever situation you have to face. I look at my earlier "waiting" sessions and training ground for the more serious stuff later.

But yes, when I got the cancer diagnosis my family rented a VRBO, and we had a nice weekend with the daughters and four grandkids. We told stories and hugged and cried a lot which might sound anti productive but for me it showed me I was not alone and I had their total support and got strength from my loved ones. It helped me find whatever peace I could to deal with what was to come. Facing it head on with confidence, strength, positivity and optimism is your best weapon. Good luck
