Laura, welcome to our family and consider your hand held. You'll find plenty of support here, and likely responses from people who've gone through a similar situation.

Waiting it out - whatever it may be - is always anxiety-provoking, so I'm not going to tell you not worry because that's only natural. But as all of us will tell you, it's not cancer until a biopsy determines that for sure. So hang in there and keep posting and asking questions.

Sending you best vibes from across the pond.
