Wasn’t a consideration for me to not know what the biopsy said. Never even thought about NOT knowing. I wanted to know so I could kick its a$$ if it was cancer. Which it was

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.

Hi everyone-
How are you doing today?
No one wants to get the news that they or a love one has cancer. But was it ever an option to not run the tests? To live without a confirmed diagnosis?
Was it ever a consideration to not know? Was not doing a biopsy something you considered? Did it ever cross your mind to stay in the dark about your cancer diagnosis?
