You are in the much hated limbo of not knowing. This is the place where your mind can, and will, imagine every worst case scenario you could possibly face. Of course it has a tendency to concentrate on the absolute worst case, which is the fatal one.
So your mind has now arrived at �this is the end�. This of course will change. This is not the end. It is the beginning. The beginning of what? is the question you will now need answered.
If your biopsy comes back negative, you have had a good scare and will be very vigilant with your health moving forward. Your view of the world and your place in it will be forever changed and life will have new meaning.
If your biopsy comes back positive, you will have a defined diagnosis. This will come with a defined path toward beating the disease and continuing on as a great mother to your child. You will know (because all of us here will keep telling you) that you do have a future and you have a fight on your hands to attain that future.
Either way, the fatal world of not knowing will end soon. You will know and it will change your life, but it will not end it.
