Thank you so much for replying, Linda. I can it get my mind past this. Messaged most of my doctors. The only one I trust here is my GI Doctor. He wrote and said wait for the results of the tests but is concerned they see it in lymph nodes. Nobody mentioned lymph nodes to me jyst showed me the 3 spots on the liver. I cannot see us traveling, esp to the East Coast. Unfortunately, my husband is having health issues and had a stent put in a couple of months ago and stupidly having issues with his BP. Our kids do not live close to us and have their own lives and jobs. My PCP sent a message they can do hete what they do at Stanford. There are very few decent doctors or Specialists in the Central Valley and more and more have to go to the Bay Area. My neighbor had to take her husband over there again today. Hard to believe but a friend died of lung cancer a couple of years ago, a bit younger, smoker. Got a call just 3 nights ago another friend passed of lung cancer, 68, probably quit smoking 40 years ago and she was going to Stanford! Some part of me is angry only because I took care of fami,y and my parents for years. My mother passed at age 95 almost two years ago. Oh, I would not have done things differently but this was the first time in years I had nobody to worry about and now this. And, I am so damn upset and nervous. I am smoking!!!

@margot69 Oh please don't smoke, That won't help anything. Do you have a counselor or even just here a special someone that you can talk to . I've learned when I was getting upset and tense. I would eat!!! I used to smoke but no starting that again. Theres only a certain about of things we can control in our lives and other things we just have to let go to keep our hope and sanity. I had to let go of a lot of things this past year, hasn't been easy , and sometimes I am tempted to blow up again but then I I realize I cannot change anything in the past and now I need to make my present and future a easier place for me. More power to yu and my prayers, margot
