So you wont know for sure till next week. It's going to be hard until they come up with a firm diagnosis and some sort of plan. I'm thinking of you and crossing my fingers that it's not a recurrence and if it is, there is a treatment plan. I hope you can cram the next few days with good books, movies, walks, bike rides or whatever leisure/work activities you enjoy.

Vent your feelings here!
