Don't keep rubbing it - promise me. You can make it irritated or infected and it won't go down. Of course it is human nature to keep touching. Promise yourself you will check it only once a week. It is almost like going on a diet - you are better off weighing yourself once a week where at least you will show a small drop in weight.
It will work. It is working. It may not go down to nothing since there are dead cancer cells in there (as you will see when it is removed during your surgery). You'll feel the difference if you give it a week or two because your fingers won't be able to tell a minute difference so you need it to add up to something you can tell (like weighing yourself - the scale can't see the ounces but when you reach a pound it can).
Keep the faith. Your scans have already seen the results and that will continue.
Hugs,
