Though I have to say -I think the waiting is the worst part... I don't understand in this day of amazing technology... why we are forced to wait torturously for 8-10 days for a test result... does it make any sense? This is a biopsy I am talking about. Most CTs or MRIs can be read and passed on within 2 days... it's crazy that it takes even that long though!
