No one wants that nasty C word attached to their name and certainly not a mother of young children. Don't be afraid to be very direct with your physicians - tell them what you are thinking or fearing and ask them to be clearer.
Looking forward to hearing what the doc has to say when he calls back - try to update us if you can. In the meantime, breathe slowly, keep yourself busy (as if you aren't already!) and try to relax.
