I have been dealing with possibly having cancer for the last 4 months. After my 3rd biopsy they're saying it isn't. They're still not sure what it is. But I feel so guilty for bringing my friends down with me only to tell them that it's not life threatening like we thought.

I've been on the cancer journey with a few friends recently and I'd have been overjoyed to fins out one of them didn't have it. So don't worry, just celebrate your win.

I don't think that is something to feel bad about. The evidence led you where you thought it went and it led somewhere even better. Diagnosis isn't a perfect line from a to b to c all the time. I'm sure your family and friends understand that.

That's a rollercoaster. I am happy and sad along with you.

I'm surr your friends are just happy for you. Hell, I am happy for you. Go grab your friends and celebrate it's not as lige threatening as you thought
