I’m at the very beginning of this journey. Nodule almost 100% certain to be cancer discovered accidentally Friday. PET scan scheduled for Monday to determine metastases. Then a plan. The uncertainty is what’s hard.

Stay positive. I agree the uncertainty is very difficult. Lean on your family and friends. If you can, take someone with you when you go to the doctor and have them take notes. The appointments can be overwhelming. My daughter in law was my note taker and I am grateful she was there to do this. It also took the pressure off my husband.

The waiting in the beginning is hard. It takes longer than it should to get scans scheduled and the wait time opens the door to imagination. Soon you'll have the information you need.
