Diana,

Many Good Thoughts and Prayers wingng their way north to you.

I am going through similar right now as well.  i have to return to a specialist next week from a test i had 2 weeks ago.  when they called me last week, i was so nervous and upset, as this has never happened to me before, however, i finally talked myself into settling down...if it was URGENT, they would have had me in the next day, not 2 weeks away.   

I am still nervous, but after trying to be realistic...i think, as they have no medical history on me here, they just want to be sure.

As well as Diana, lets not forget Roses also because in the above post she refers to similar troubles, isn't it time somebody put together the POE Healing Prayer? C'mon Sue H, over to you!

Take care Roses, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

O Thou in whose great arms
All the children of earth are embraced,
Here in thy presence we remember
     our kinship with all human kind.
 
We rejoice for those who are in
full health and strength,
Whose ways are ways of pleasantness
      and peace.
 
Our hearts reach out toward those
     whose ways are ways of suffering,
     of body, mind, or soul.
 
May it be that thou shalt find us
     reaching out to them
Not only with our hearts but with
     our hands also,
To help them in the bearing of
     their burdens,
To help in the lifting of their 
burdens.

No prayers from a grumpy old atheist - but many good wishes for you both, Diana and Roses.

As everyone has said, more often than not these things turn out not to be cancer. My wife has gone through this unpleasantness twice, and both times she found it very stressful - but the relief when she got the good news was wonderful.

Even when the news is not so good, things can turn out fine. We're getting better and better at dealing with the Big C, and there are many thousands of people who have had it but are now 100% OK.

You're both in my thoughts.

My very best wishes to you, Diana and Roses.  Don't let yourself to panic and be optimistic; both your cases sound to me more like an extra safety check from your physicians rather than critical matters.  
Diana, some of them use to throw the 'C' word around to protect themselves in the first place ! :(
A big hug to both.

Roses, you are in my thoughts and prayers and I'm sure everything will turn out fine. Maria is right, they often throw the C word around to cover their backs. It makes you long for the days of the calm and comforting bedside manner.

Wolf, that is a lovely prayer/verse.
