Need Reassurance

Hi I was just told by my partner that has been in remission for 7 yrs that two of here lymph-nodes behind her stomach are swollen. He did say he doesn't think the cancer is back but he wants to double ck..The oncologist wants her to have a biopsy some time next week. My surgery is next week , my question should I reschedule my surgery. I am self pay. She said to continue with my surgery. What does everyone think.

I'd say that depends on your individual strength level & tolerance to pain. I know personally if I were to have had my surgery on Monday, I would have been fine to be beside my wife through almost anything by Wednesday or Thursday.

Since they are presuming that it is not cancer if I could finagle the schedules I'd go through with it. If your surgery is within 2 days of her appointment, I think I'd talk to the surgeon and see if anybody the following week wanted to swap.

Ugh that's a hard one. I think I personally would swap. I want my mind totally on my recovery and surgery. That's a lot of stress, I am so sorry.
