Update

Hi,

I finally received a call from my doctor...I need to have further testing on the 23rd. So far, he has told me that Radiology has found that the mass has changed from previous exrays, in that it is more defined and has a notch.

I am impatient with all the tests and want answers immediately...That is the hardest part..

For the most part I am keeping a positive attitude...:ghug2

Hi Missy,
Just read through your thread, Wish I had commented before now! I hope you are doing ok? I recently found a lump on the back of my knee and was worried sick about what it could be. I had tests and it was found to be nothing, but I know the feeling well. I imagined the worst and really wanted to drink and forget everything, but those close to me said that it would still be there once I sober up. Keep a strong mind, block out those bad thoughts and stay focused, keep posting and I hope everthing is ok?
Regards:ghug3

I had a similar experience..I know how you feel

Hey Missymae- A while back I was diagnosed with a possible lymphoma in the lymph nodes of my neck. I was 41 at the time...4 kids under 12 years old...wife..house....everything to lose. Anyway...I freaked out...did drink...what a MISTAKE. Any temporary relief was quashed by loss of sobriety, drunken wreckage, warped and self-pitying thinking, inappropriate emotional displays, drunken anger...all that goes along with my drinking. Please avoid the samr mistake if you can.

Missymae, I'm so glad that your condition isn't as serious as you feared. Thank you for reaching out here the way you did. When all these good people gather to support a friend in crisis it makes a fire that warms us all.
