If you're looking for the warm and fuzzies, don't go poking around the Internet.

Rule #2 (in Cancer): Don't project too much from what you know. It'll drive you nuts. Source: I have advanced stage cancer and even now when I project or speculate, I'm almost always wrong (and I diagnose things for a living!). I know it's not easy, but try not to read too much into it. If they actually found something they'd want to biopsy, they would have told you.
