Be sure to go to a cancer center that will have a full team to treat you if you do get a diagnosis of cancer.
If you do receive a diagnosis please don't fear surgery, many of us on here had surgery as part of our treatment and we're fine.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed it will be nothing and you won't have to worry about ANY of this!!
