Very helpful!!! Trying to practice mindfulness. This is very difficult to wrap your head around.

Can I ask if they found any malignancy and if so did you need treatment.

Thank you and God bless.

It is a lot to absorb! For me, it was a shock as I did not know about the genetic problem I had all of my life until at age 54, the pancreatic tumors (5+) showed incidentally on a CT scan for a kidney stone! I figured I was a goner at that time. As I learned more and found the right surgeon for me, I read the following and it really helped me: https://www.amazon.com/Psycho-Cybernetics-Updated-Expanded-Maxwell-Maltz/dp/0399176136
They found 1 out of 13 lymph nodes positive for spread but nothing since then (knocking on wood)
Focus on what you will do when you are out of the hospital and the plans you have and you will get through this!
