Yep, I am scared -- I know that, for a cancer, it's a 'mild' one; but there are no guarantee's on anything; plus there are four different types, each getting progressively worse.

Hate to say it, but I've always had bad luck.

I've had the ultrasound & been biopsied; I'm now going to have to wait for the pathology results as to which kind it is (or isn't! can't hurt to be positive!)
-- but that waiting is going to be the hardest part.

Of course, they wouldn't tell me it looked cancerous at all, but you could read it in their faces and body language. Years ago, I had a deep lesion in my femur, had a bone scan and surgery, and through the whole process there was the calm assumption that it wasn't cancer. As my Doc told me 'I've seen my Aunt Tilly from behind so many times that I can recognize her'. Well, this time it seemed pretty obvious they saw Auntie chilly :>


How did the radiation effect you?

Thanks so much again -- I really appreciate some knowledgeable information on this... better than reading everything from A to Z,
& each saying something different, on the interwebs
