At least you got this done now! Now just wait for the results! There is nothing that is going to change in the next couple days while you wait, so try to be at peace and be happy. Whatever is going on in your body has been going on for a while. I'm glad the message that was sent to you while you were waiting was helpful. I read that and it was a really nice message with a lot of helpful and encouraging advice.
There are so many people out there that are stage three or four and have lived for a long time being that way. And if it is cancer, who's not to say that they caught this early? And there's a lot of times they catch cancer at stage 3, and they can get rid of it. It all depends on where it is, and how your body responds to the chemo or immunotherapy. And this might just be a big. Nothing burger. From your symptoms though. It sounds like something's going on. I was going to tell you that I also have a couple lumps underneath my ribs. I just had my oncologists feel those, I actually have them under both ribs, and sometimes it kind of annoys me because it feels like it's pulling on things. I think one of them is kind of a big little fatty mass and it just kind of pulls on stuff. I don't like it. He said unless it's bothering me though, they won't take them out. But he wasn't concerned about those because there's really not any major organ right there. That's not to say it couldn't be something serious though!!.
I'm thinking of you and I hope you get the results as soon as possible. I'm hoping that it will be some positive news and if it's not the news that you wanted, I'm hoping that some positive news comes with it!!!
These are the times in your life that you need to be really kind to yourself and forgiving and lastly, these are the times that turning to your faith or your higher power will help more than you can imagine. Right now you're like a ship on the ocean and when the wind pushes you off course All you need to do is adjust your sails!
