Deneb,
First, you won't hang yourself if its positive.. you WILL deal. Like all the other people who are cancer survivors in the world. Like my Mum, and my brother to name just two.
Secondly. You don't have cancer. Your doctors have already told you you don't have cancer, and this further test was only done at your insistence. The original test was very good, and is perfectly reliable at giving correct results.
At the moment you are catastrophising.. Try focusing on the fact that you don't have cancer, and that you are so very lucky to live somewhere where they will do the follow up test just to put your mind at rest. You say "the lump again" in your stressful life events.. When in fact, it hasn't returned, or got worse, but YOU made it important again.
Remember. You don't have cancer.. keep reminding yourself of that.
Nikki
