Oh no, Epic. Best thoughts to you.
And ugh, lisah! Here's hoping it stays OK for you guys.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh Epic, sending massive amounts of ~ma in your direction. Not having answers is an incredibly stressful place to be.

This and this! I hope it turns out to be something minor and easily treated. Sending healing vibes.
Also healing vibes to lisah and Bob.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
All my vibes to you, Epic, and I'm furious on your behalf at everyone who spent months just nodding and smiling and congratulating you on your sudden unexplained weight loss. Sending you all the may-it-be-nothing~ma I've got.

Oh Epic, really really hoping that it’s something easily treatable. I know it’s very overwhelming and scary right now, please know you have so many people rooting for you.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Epic, "freaking out a little" is completely understandable. Vent here as and when you need to. You have lots of support available.
Waiting for scans, and then waiting for the results of scans, and then waiting for the consult to review the scans, is stressful in and of itself. In my support group, we call it "scanxiety." Everyone copes with it in different ways. I hope it helps you to know you're in good company.

Much ~ma Epic. I expect dcp, above, has the best practical advice. Also I am with JZ on the anger for "unexplained weight loss" as a good.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Epic, that sucks. All of my ~ma is for you.

Good morning. My self-flagellation for this morning:
In both orgs I work for, we recently changed my title to be less slapdash and more accurate, so I updated my Linked-In profile so I matched everywhere. Now I'm getting all kinds of "Congratulations on your promotion!" messages on LI, which is lovely of people, but also, I did not get promoted. Needless to say, I updated my settings so that changes to my LI profile are no longer announced to the world. Oy. I kind of thought that's how I had it set anyway, but no.
And on a things that actually matter note -- I continue to send health and coping -ma out to everyone who needs it, friends.

{{{{{Epic}}}} I'm so sorry. Tons of ~ma for the best possible results, and also what JZ said. I'm infuriated on your behalf.
I tried to be super efficient this morning by going directly to the bakery after drop off to get St Patrick's Day cupcakes for us, and they weren't ready yet. So, now I have to go back, but at least they are saving them for me.
