Ah Ms. MissyLouWho!
Great news.
Ambivalent test results have haunted my life.
The worst was a family member diagnosed with an untreatable, always fatal cancer, at age 40. Two pathologists agreed, at the hospital where she was getting treatment.
Two weeks later, she was one day away from double radical mastectomies (it was in her breast but NOT breast cancer) when the pathologist at Harvard's Mass General Hospital reported in: NOT CANCER!
Needless to say we were all basket-cases by then.
I had a chest X-ray which looked liked I had an aneurysm on my Aortic Arch. A CT Scan was then done, which ruled out the aneurysm, but showed what looked like a node on my lung! 6 months later, the node no longer looked like a node, but more like a little scar probably from a spur on my rib bone.
So, the tests can be very helpful, but also very frightening. On the whole it's best to be patient. Which is very very hard.
The hardest part is when doctors disagree, which is also a possibility.
The 'day at a time' philosophy is the one that works best for me.

So she just has the small 'thing' removed, biopsied, and NOT CANCER.
