You are right, keep repeating it until you relax...its NOT cancer until the biopsy says it is. Discoloration is not all that unusual with everything you have been thru. It could be all kinds of things besides what we all fear the most... a recurrence. Even with this area being like that for a few weeks, it would still be caught super early IF it would be cancerous.
Hang in there, get checked out. Hope its nothing serious!!!
