Maxie,

You will read this line over and over on this site---it's not cancer until the pathology says it is. Your husband may be waiting until the path report comes in before he reacts. That's okay. Your parents naturally are concerned. There isn't a whole lot you can do until you get the path results. No sense in worrying yourself sick. You WILL deal with it, whatever it is. AND I hope that it is nothing. However, you have found a safe haven here at OCF. Lots of people have been where you are.

All the best--
Anita
