The truth is..it ain't cancer till they can prove it. Worry robs you of the enjoyment of today and your 5 year old. Anxiety causes more stress and can lead to more problems. Biopsy will be about the only sure diagnostic tool at this point. Keep pushing but please take a breath and enjoy today. It will be gone by tomorrow and will never return. You have lost many, many today's since May. You have a gift before you and should this be cancer, every day up till the diagnosis you have been cancer free as far as you know.

Just my opinion.
