I'd say "relax and don't worry", but I know the anxiety that comes along with each and every biopsy. Praying for good news for you. You certainly deserve It.

I'm rooting for you, you old Frack. You were the inspiration for me as a went through my Cyberknife treatment. I could always say that I knew someone who had survived a reoccurrence using the same treatment as I was undergoing, and was alive and well enough to tell about it three years later.
In those dark hours we all have, when doubt enters our minds and just won't leave, I kept remembering your success to get me though.
Hope all goes well for you.
