one thing after another

So the scare at the end of 2014 turned out OK. I had monthly visits until this month. Now I'm back to every three months with the oncologist. BUT my CA125 went up a little again (34). It's the highest "normal" number. I am not to worry. Then, today I got a call from the gynecology/oncology nurse practitioner. My PAP shows abnormal cells. I am not to worry. It can be due to several non-threatening things. Of course, just to be sure, I need a colposcopy and possible biopsy (depending on what she sees).
Once you've had a cancer diagnosis, all the "don't worry" reassurances you get end up sounding like "you might have more cancer".
More waiting...
