Try to stay positive. I dont have any advice for u because i'm new to this myself. 2cm nodule, suspicious cells, having surgery next month to remove right side. I am of no help to u but i do know what its like to feel like you're loosing your mind to worry and stress. Try to relax and fight for answers, its your body! Stress will not help you heal after the surgery you just had and i know its easier said than done as i'm so stressed also but its starting to take its toll on me so i need to take my own advice and chill. I hope u get this all sorted out. You're in my thoughts and prayers
