I am having the biopsy Friday. Any idea how long it would be before I get the results? Its going to be horrible waiting all weekend but I don't see them getting them to me Friday.
Monday? Tuesday?

I have seen on here to expect 1 month recovery for every week of treatment.
I have short and long term disability where I work. Would this prevent me from SSI.

I was hoping to never have to use them. I know the short term is 12 weeks but I have not discussed long term with my emplyer yet.

With my wife unemployeed I need to work as much as possible.
I have a job where I could be put on light duty for as long as needed and I'm fortunate to have a friend close by I could ride with if driving was a problem.

Getting pretty scared. The pain is still stealing my focus right now.
