Im very sorry you are going thru this. If you would need our help, you are in the right place for info and support.
You sound like a very intelligent person who is trying to prepare for getting some seriously bad news. Not all lesions are cancerous so until the biopsy confirms its cancer repeat to yourself "its not cancer until the biopsy says it is". If the results come back with bad news you will find you are in the very best place for info and support. We will help you get thru this.
Ive found that when waiting for this type of thing if you stay busy it helps to make passing the time easier. Having 3 children to look after, you already have lots to keep you super busy. As you already have discovered, Dr Google can be more of a scary thing than helpful. Try to avoid it altogether to help avoid from the "what if..." thinking. You do not need any additional stress right now. Stress only makes this more difficult.
Hopefully you will not need our assistance but if you would we're here for you. Wishing you all the very best with this!!!!
