Update and a Decision
Update on my partners mass...
Dr says its either a very benign over active lymph node or its a serious Lymphoma. We wont know until the biopsy on monday. We will have an answer to it by weds. Finally a definative name for what they found. In a way that concept is scarier than anything else we have done.
My decision. I am going ahead with my surgery. I dont want to be resentful in the long run and I am just going to have to accept help from our friends if I need it. Thats always hard for me, but maybe its time to grow!
I will post more as I find out details!
So now all you have to do is "hurry up and wait," right? How nerve-wracking is THAT?
I can only imagine what you must be going through right now, and my best wishes and prayers have been sent. I think you are making the right decision to go forward with the surgery. Not only do you not want to "feel resentful," if you don't, but I'm sure she would feel guilty being the reason why you postponed your plans. I'm the same way -- it's hard sometimes to reach out for help -- but I think that friends who love us feel good about having the opportunity to give. Don't take that away from them. This is what friendship is all about, and something tells me you would do nothing less for your friends if the situation was reversed.
Hang in there -- you've got a great corner team here...
