Hi @Molly71
i too can relate.
I had “ something suspicious” on my liver on a scan but it turned out to be benign tiny lesions.
But then I had a PETScan which showed “something suspicious” on my thyroid - turned out to be a very small completely unrelated cancer which the thyroid specialist said probably would have turned into a lump 5 or even 10 years later.
I had my thyroid removed a couple is months after my mastectomy.
Luckily there was no cancer in my lymph nodes ( I had a petscan due to the size of my tumour 5.5 cm but very slow growing) so all my catastrophic ing about metastatic stage 4 cancer were uncalled for.
But in those few weeks ( seemed like an eternity) I was a nervous wreck even though most people would say I was very resilient.
The feelings are perfectly natural and despite being surrounded by all the loved ones in the world ( my husband was a complete rock) extremely lonely.
I hope the time passes soon enough for you and the news is good.
