GKLINE,

So hard to read about this coming from you... You have been the voice of encouragement and positivity for dozens of scared people passing by this site in search of answers, guidance or reassurance. I hope you're next update reflects good news. We're thinking of you..

I am putting a plan together with him now.
He seems to feel we have a false positive but my primary Dr is not so sure about that.
I'll keep you all posted.

George,

Congrats on the win. You are now, officially a winner, although us readers have known that for some time.

Blood could be too many hours in a bucket seat with the pedal on the metal, and cytology can produce false positives.

Time to find out if there really is anything. Relax, worry does not help anything (easy for me to say at this moment)

Enjoy your victory. Take a lap in the forum, if not on the track.

Best,
Jack

OK George. This MAY BE NOTHING. That is what I am going to think. NOTHING.

I won't let it be ANYTHING.
