[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you for the thoughtful responses.  I keep reminding myself how lucky we are that the lesion looks benign, I realize things could be much worse.  I am going to try and make the most of these next 8 weeks.  I have major health anxiety so this is incredibly stressful for me, but I don't want to project that onto my daughter.  I think I will try and plan some fun, (covid friendly) weekend activities for the next several weeks.  [/quote]

I agree with the others, do your best to act normal. But I do think it is ok to express some healthy worry. You’d be anxious to hear results from a math test or a college application, of course you would await medical news with similar feelings. I lost a teen sibling to cancer and everyone was so positive throughout the whole ordeal that I was gobsmacked when she died. So if she expresses a little bit of worry, I think sharing that medical tests being out those feelings, and it is perfectly normal to have those feelings because these tests have a way of making you acutely aware of how fragile our health can be. And although it is so very likely benign, the result will tell you if she needs a surgery, which isn’t insignificant. My best to you as you pass the time these next few weeks, waiting for a good result![/quote]
