I hope you are able to get your medical problems resolved and are feeling better soon. I won't launch into mine, but I had a "lump", actually a lymph node removed last summer. It's a good procedure because they can tell what is going on by doing that. It's quite painful if you don't take medicine for it, but it's not a big deal to worry over. If you have any questions, feel free to message me.
I have a similar situation in that I haven't seen my father since I was about four. I wouldn't want to, but would like to know if I have any siblings and about the geneaology of that side of my family. If I had the money, I would hire a private investigator. There are times in my life when I thought, if he had been what he should have been, this or that would not have happened. $160 every few months just doesn't cut it or a single mom, but she didn't not want further interaction with him for our own safety. Luckily, my Grandfather was there for me as a male figure in my life. I miss him every day. When he died, the whole dysfunctional family slowly unraveled. He was kind of like the lynch pin that held the family together.
Do what is right for you. Take care.
