Leprekaun, I'm so sorry you are probably hearing the answer you didn't want to hear. And I'm glad you are seeing your doctor Monday. But also try to remember today it isn't cancer until they say it is. Just two weeks ago I was completely stressed out before seeing my ENT because I had this tiny lump on the outside of my jaw that could be felt under the skin. At first I thought it was some kind of zit but it didn't go away then I got worried. But he told me not to worry--that it didn't feel like it would if it was cancer, and I just had a followup MRI which alaso shows everything being OK. I've also had breast cancer recurrence scares in the last couple of years--to the extent they did another biopsy to be sure. It is SO hard when you have something like that and are worried it's the worst and you just don't know.

So anyway, I can imagine from my own experience how you are feeling, you are in my thoughts, and I will come here hoping to read good news (but will also be there for you if it's bad news)tomorrow.
