    They say the ones in the abdomen are around a 30% chance of cancer, no way to tell unless it comes back or spreads then it is considered cancerous they said.

    :-(

    Perhaps you could check out Smart Patients to know more? I've heard that this is very informative discussion board for all types of diseases. This board is not so active lately.

    Also maybe this advanced scan you'll have give more clarity if its benign or malignant, and if benign, maybe it can be left alone.

    I really wish you strength and positivity in this. Waiting, not knowing and having no plan is the hardest. As soon as you have a scan - you'll have a plan, and this will help you to get into fight mode and deal with it!

    Hugs!

    Yes I have the scans these are quite different from other tumors they have to be removed as there is no way to know if they are cancerous unless they have become metastasized even after removal the main treatment is removal. Not a lot of information on them out there even on smart patients. Thank you for the kind words.
