It doesn't mean that - it was my fatigue / tiredness that partly prompted me to visit the doc initially. I did have a pretty large tumour but it was treatable (and it's now gone!). This part is the hardest IMO. You've had the shock of the big C word, now you have to wait for all their tests. Stay strong and try not to think about the 'what ifs'. I know it's not easy. Once they know what's going in, you'll get a treatment plan and can work from there. Set small goals and try and remain positive - I firmly believe it helps you get through it with a positive mindset. I focussed on being around for my wife and kids but the focus could be being around for family, to see an event, to go on holiday. I hope all goes well with the scans etc :)
