a year agoDeb- your fear is valid. My prayers are with you/ find inner strength to take the data, ask questions, learn what you can do, and find a compassionate care team of their delivery is not aligned with your personal needs! I am new here and couldn’t locate your prior posts- but as I can see we are all here experiencing similar challenges/constant fear. Don’t stop getting scans/tests- the more you know the better you can control your next steps! Hang in there!
