High Suspicion of Malignancy

Hello,

I am a young(er) survivor of childhood cancer (now 25 went into remission at 13). I previously had Ewing's Sarcoma in my right hip socket. For years I've had a high WBC count, and just recently am having it checked out. Via a CT an enlarged lymph node was found and via an ultrasound the results said there is a "high suspicion of malignancy" for the lymph node due to a few factors. I recently had a biopsy and am still waiting for the results and am awaiting an appointment for a PET scan. I'm slightly freaking out that I'm going to be diagnosed with cancer again. I don't know if anyone else has had this suspicion and how that might have turned out? Or if anyone has any tips to deal with a potential incoming diagnosis.

Again as a final note, I have not spoken to my hematologist/oncologist since the ultrasound so all I have to go off of is this suspicion so maybe I'm also just overthinking and stressing out over nothing.
