Hi Becky.

Have to agree, get yourself adequately diagnosed, you can check it out now

when it's reasonably small or later when it could be too late. You definitely

are the sort of lady who asks questions or why else are you writing here? So

yes, you are worried but you're also strong so now take the action. Do it for

your children because cancer waits for no one ~ ask to see an oncologist who

knows what he/she is looking for, the correct method of finding out and

diagnosing and then if it is the worst will know the correct treatment. Don't

hang about wishing and hoping ~ DO something! Yes I am bossy and don't apologise

but I am not just thinking about you ~you have a family to consider too. I have

cancer that has spread, my time is shorter and if half of my wishes had been

action .........................

Take good care and come back to us and tell us the result, thinking of you,

Becky - I agree with the crowd here - go and get it biopsied at

least. If your Gyn won't do it, find one who will - or better yet,

get in touch with a surgeon. Best NOT to wait and see.

Hugs!
