hi all, my primary care doctor is referring me to a surgeon to remove my abdominal tumor and send it to pathology. she said that she was “extremely concerned” about my tumor due to all the symptoms i’m having, she thinks the tumor is causing them, and i’m having a lot of anxiety waiting to find out when my first appointment with the surgeon will be. has anyone here had diagnostic surgery for a tumor about the size of a golf ball? does anyone know what to expect at the first appointment? and most importantly does anyone have any tips for coping with the anxiety of waiting for appointments and tests? i am feeling extremely anxious and worried. thank you for reading and please let me know about any advice x
