When I suspected that I had cancer for the third time, I had just started bike riding with my son. I had my biopsy and tried to put it out of my mind. The day before I was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer and would need a huge operation I went on a 25 mile bike ride. I felt great and decided that no matter what the results were I was going to do as much as possible. I went into that operation last year with no regrets if I didnt make it.
So no matter what the results will be, it wont change them sitting home worrying about it. Im hoping and praying that your reults are negative and you dont have to go thru any more OC treatments.
