Hi Donna, I'm glad you are in the company of many survivors who understand and are compassionate beyond belief. The best I can do is send a hug and keep you in my prayers that it's nothing.

ps. We addressed with the doctors what they should tell us right up front. We preferred to be as informed as possible. I'm with you. We had a "need to know." We felt better prepared that way. It's your body--he should get past his discomfort and answer your questions. It's better that way. The imagination sometimes makes things worse than they are.
