I went to the dr. today and cat scan said something about "no conclusive evidence of disease or metasisis...yada, yada...lots of other 'qualifying' type statements".  I am told I should be pleased with this report.  The Surgeon will however - in the next couple of weeks - do a biopsy on the lump "just to be sure".  
  I went to the appointment by myself.  I have decided that I need to take full responsibility for and control of my medical issues.  If or when there is something that I absolutely must tell those related to me, I will.  
  Thanks again.
