Found out yesterday that the biopsy results came back with the word “benign” on them. By Thursday evening I was pretty much in panic mode and I couldn’t eat at all Friday. So I decided to call early. I called around lunch and they weren’t back. I almost decided not to call again - because I was pretty convinced that the news would be bad and thought maybe, in this case, not knowing may be the better option.

Obviously, I decided to go ahead and call. Was on hold forever, then the nurse says the results are in, but the doctor hasn’t had a chance to review them and she won’t be back in the office until Tuesday. My heart was just sinking. Then she pauses and says that she is allowed to tell me that the results were benign.

Yippee!!! I will definitely follow up with the doctor for a how-do-I-be-my-own-advocate chat, but at least I didn’t wait all weekend in varying states of panic.

Life is good again. :o)
