Well done for getting to it, and getting through it. You are right, a brave face and facing up to it is the only way to go, I believe strongly that all will be 'fine and benign' but the reason for having tests and checks is not to threaten us - but catch things early and treatable. This is something I have struggled with as a concept, every yearly mammogram - it feels insurmountable and as if the tests/scan is the threat, but it isn't , its actually NOT having the test and scan that is the threat.
