Waiting for test results is the worst!!! Keeping yourself busy will help you from worrying too much. After what you have already gone thru I can imagine you must be pretty nervous about the spot. Just keep repeating... sometimes a spot is just a spot.
Which doctor told you about needing chemo? What do they think the spot is? Was it new or showing on a previous scan as well? Im very sorry for so many questions!!! Im trying to understand your situation and why someone suggested a treatment plan before knowing exactly what is going on.
Hang in there!!!
