Sleep in Heavenly Peace

A few weeks ago Ben told me that he had found a lump on his testicle, so we made an appointment to get it evaluated.  The doctor checked it out and seemed concerned, so he had us schedule an ultrasound and then Ben went out of town on business.  I didn't sleep very well for the next several nights.  When Ben got back from his trip he had the ultrasound and the tech was also concerned and told us that there were abnormalities. Waiting for the radiology report was no fun, I didn't sleep very well for another few nights.  The radiologist looked at the images and said he thought the mass was probably benign, but wanted Ben to see a specialist.  I slept a little better that night, but was still concerned.  Finally, after 2 long weeks of wondering and waiting, we met with the urologist who gave us the great news that the lump is just an epididymal cyst and that we should not be concerned in any way that it could be cancer.  Phew!  What a relief!  I feel like a dark cloud has been lifted.  Tonight I will hopefully sleep in heavenly peace.
