OP "OCF Canuck" Patient Advocate (1000+ posts) Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,357 Likes: 5 | Thanks for the support all. 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.
