Anxiety central

After a week of worrying about various medical stuff, it was announced that my biopsy results were, of all things, inconclusive. My invaded lymph node decided to play hard to get, I suppose, although the reason given was that the biopsy was inconclusive because of scar tissue within the node. And this could have been caused by any illness I have had over the course of the last 40-odd years.

So it's back to the doctor later this week for more of the same. Or, to be more accurate, back to another doctor. My own doctor has offered to refer me to an oncologist.

It might be beneficial to readers (reader?) to explain what was the original cause of all doctoral concerns. My original doc (an ob/gyn) didn't suspect breast cancer; she suspected Hodgkin's lymphoma. And the reason she suspected this is that, when initially talking to her, I had mentioned feeling very tired the last couple of weeks. Seems that fatigue is a symptom of Hodgkin's. Then she did the lymph node grope and found a couple she didn't like. I had never noticed them myself.

I can't decide whether to return to her (who I like, by the way) or go to an unknown oncologist.  I can't go to the one oncologist I know personally, as he's a bone marrow specialist and would find me boring. Maybe I should just forget about it for a couple of weeks.
