Even though there was a lot of history of maybe missed opportunities, you now have a biopsy scheduled for Monday. That is great! A biopsy is the only sure way to know if this thing is cancer or not.
You are certainly worried and all sorts of thoughts are flying around your head. We have a saying there that you can repeat all weekend long - "It's not cancer until proven".
Ask what the turnaround is for results. One good thing about biopsy on Monday is there is a full work week to get things processed. Find out how the results are getting routed and you can followup to get your reports as soon as it becomes available and not sitting in someone's work folder for a few extra days.
Good luck.
