Feeling angry for you. Please keep us posted.
I'm just a dude who still can't believe he had a resection and went through chemo (currently 13 years NED). Is this real life?

I'm joining the branch of your CC 'family' that is opting for denial until proven malignant and simultaneously outraged and hurting that your ''cured' milestone has been blown up by this terror and disappointment.

I saw your Facebook post after church last night and just was so upset and still am BUT I did a lot of searching and saw where a huge number of pages say these can be benign yet in areas where they must be removed for safety.

I'm praying these ARE benign growths! You and your family have just gone through so much and it's time for all good news, so I'm going to pray and pray that these are totally benign, easily removed and that you have NO problems at all with your sugar or any other conditions during this time.

I actually read one report/ paper of a 71 year old man who presented with a CT showing huge masses that turned out to be scar tissue growth from surgery 55 years previous. We can HOPE!!

We love you sweetie! You're always so strong for us and made it through such an awful time with your husband's illness, moving and all that paperwork. I want this to be an easy fix for you.

Big hugs and lots of love,
Diane
