I got the stitches taken out of my back today, that went well. The pathology report said the lump was, a granular cell tumor? It also said that the doctor didn't get it all out. My doctor is going to consult with the pathologist, because the reports usually state , whether ot not it is cancerous. He also is unsure whether it will grow back, if it wasn't completely removed. So now I don't know if I should worry or not.

I don't know much (or anything) about medicine, but I hope that since "malignant" isn't in the report that should be a good thing. There are more people here with more experience in the medical field so hopefully they will offer some advice.

The only thing I can really offer is calming vibes until the doctor finds out what is going on.

I don't know much either about this either, but if I was in your place, I would do everything I can to put it out of my mind until it's time for the doc apt. It won't do you any good to worry about it.

At any rate, lots of your way, I hope everything turns out to be good

Under the cats, mostly.
I know it's easier said than done, but it's best to worry about things when they happen. Right now, it's pretty much all gone. If they've not said the buzz word "malignant" then don't stress
you're not paid enough for blood pressure. I'm fairly certain that you're just fine - as was in the last post, it's very rare for them to be malignant, so I don't think you're going to have any problems. BIG
for you!
