I have just seen this thread and feel like I was back 20+ years when a terrible breast cancer scare happened to me. I had 5 children and the idea of them not having a mother was desperate. In my case it took six whole weeks of tests/scans etc as I had a very bad experience with one hospital and changed hospitals and consultant at the point of surgery. Your story is also a roller-coaster and I have wept for you reading it. 
The emotional toll was devastating when this happened to me as I was determined not to tell the children until I had a definite plan I could be happy with....
My poor husband carried us all gently and lovingly for that six weeks whilst trying to be "normal" - and managing his own fears.
(😍 I am SO lucky to have him.)
Mine was not cancer after all. It was a blocked milk duct! I would have had unnecessary surgery if I hadn't been so determined to get a second opinion.
My doctor was no use when I was distressed.
The take-away for me is to try to cherish every day, to truly remember the good in the people who love us , and to tell them how and why we love them.
Now you have a good result - we are all delighted for you on Gransnet.
Try to relax and recover 💖
