So true ... It can be really nerve-wrecking scenario when "something" is seen but it is "inconclusive" or "probably nothing" 😵💫. One lingers above a deep void between hope and worry and feels stuck in no man's land. Somehow my husband and me are constantly in that gray area from the beginning. The best example is that one low-glow lymph node on a PSMA scan. Two world class experts said it is "nothing", but as the time passes my confidence in their "art of reading" is less and less 🥺 unfortunately ... Same with the last pathology report - it can really be with good margins, but one tiny spot is inconclusive, BUT "probably negative". As people in my old country would say: "Earth, please open under me " 😋
