That is such great news. I had lost track of your thread and forgot about the nodule. And I'm surprised they didn't call you...when I was waiting for pathology results I was so scared, it was like my life was on hold to see what was up. When they called me (on a weekend, the nurse was at the office doing catch-up when the results came in and she called just so I could have a good weekend) I cried.

Re the HR. Dunno. Mine's been known to get up that high but only briefly and very rarely. Have you been exercising? If not, maybe your body is just trying to get back into things. 180 for me is normal, that'd be the highest point of most workouts.
