Thanks, Cathleen! I did get a little frightened when I first received the report that nodules had been found and one needed to be biopsied, but thanks to the internet, I was able to quickly see that the chances of it being cancer was only 5% and the odds of a cancerous nodule metastasizing was only a small fraction of that 5%. So I was never really worried.

Actually, I was very relieved that they finally found something that explained my exhaustion because that meant there could be a treatment to help it go away. The only real worry I had was if it required surgery, I'd have a large scar on my neck where I could not hide it (especially living in a warm climate that never requires scarves).

So no real scare at all. Mostly relief and hope. 😊
