At least you've caught this second lump (assuming it does turn out to be a lump) really early. If you do have to get back on the merry-go-around again for this one at least you will know what to expect and it will be easier to get through the whole process. So, as Susan said, rest, recover and regain your strength for the next 6 months and convince yourself not to dwell on this (of course I know that is easier said than done). I hadn't really thought of this, but now that you mention it, I am glad to know that you haven't had to be shower-free for the past 2 months!! :-) I can't even imagine how icky one would feel after 2 months without a shower. Haha! Sorry to hear about this. At least you’ve caught this second lump (assuming it does turn out to be a lump) really early.

When they saw a spot on my liver in the ultrasound, they sent me for a biopsy and then for an MRI so I had 3 tests on that thing. But watchful waiting (what they often do for prostate cancer) is effective too. It is good that you are not anxious about it. I guess if you can distract yourself enough with other things like NaNo and stuff, you can avoid thinking about it too much. Yeah, I’m with Xup in the ‘get different tests’ department.

Gawd how...deflating! Thinking positive doesn't need to be an armour y'know...ou can just assume the best and carry on. Oh that isn’t fair. Gawd how…deflating!

Are they actually sure it's a lump this time, not someone's finger on the lens or something? Can you get an ultrasound or something to double check before you spend 6 months with this hanging over your head? In other enquiries...will you be posting your novel to your blog, chapter by chapter when it's all done? That would be fun. Ye gods! How crazy.

As for the smut what else could you expect after introducing a well hung boyfriend to the story.

Just when you thought you had won free of having to think about medical matters for a while. As for the smut, I'm impressed. I once tried to write a smutty novel, but the damn characters just wanted to stay up and talk. Delurking to say: crap. I’m sorry.
