Hey, BR. I just went through the suspicious mass thing myself. Mine is in my head and turned out to be my offical loose screw. It has been there so long it dried up, calicified the doctor said. I hope and pray that yours will be just as innocent. However, I have a friend whose birthday is today that is facing the time in your life when you have to decide just how much living you plan on doing while you are still alive. She is 61 today and they couldn't remove her mass so they by-passed it. She said I encouraged her to get up and start living what time she has left. I want to help her do that.
I know how hard it is to accept help, my friend and I both have that problem. One thing about my H is when he is sure I'm really sick he is there 100%. Since I have been with him I have never had to face major surgery alone and he keeps my family from overwhelming me while I get well. I am one of those people that cannot get well in a hospital and I can't deal with a lot of visitors when I am sick. Trust me, my H got plenty of brownie points in storage for the way he cares for me when I need help. I just hate that I got to be sick to get attention. Please let your W help you after the surgery you will get well faster if someone takes the load off you.
