Howdy,

Just thought I'd pop in for an update. Unfortunately I haven't heard anything back from the surgeon yet, but I do have some alright news.

While my symptoms are not completely gone, they have significantly dissipated since the biopsy, as has my extreme anxiety. I know most people go crazy waiting for the results, but for some reason just having the biopsy seems to have given me a great deal of relief. That is not to say that I am out of the woods, but I am no longer a basket case over the situation. I now wonder if my anxiety wasn't so bad that it enhanced my symptoms immensely. Or perhaps the anti-biotics played a hand in improving my condition. Either way I am thankful for every day that I do not have terrifying symptoms.

I am still a bit anxious to get the results, of course, but I think having someone finally take me seriously enough to run a test is what has helped calm me down. I was so scared that I'd never get to find out one way or the other and possibly do something about it. Now that things are rolling I feel a lot less out of control.

I hope everyone is well and I will let you know what the deal is after I get the results.
