Spade,

Waste no more time and worry and get the thing biopsied. Like Gary says, it ain't cancer until the can prove it to you. Peace of mind is too important to run a thousand scenarios over and over in your mind.

We have all done what you are doing and most likely more often and for a longer period of time. I remember clearly when the doctor told me what my pathology report said. I couldn't believe it and months later I am still terrified, although tolerating everything. Your training and education give you an extreme advantage over the rest of us because you already know more than what we have had to learn. However, the same thing gives you a disadvantage because your knowledge can propogate more fear.

Have it checked out and take each step as it comes. You can't run the race if all you see is the finish line.

I know how difficult this must be for you. We are here if you need anything.
