All things considered you have found the right place for support. I have just finished my 12th week of post treatment and know what you are thinking/feeling right now. Not sure you want to exert that stress upon yourself though. The good is you are going to get a biopsy. My first 2 visits I was told to take some antibiotics. Took over a year for someone to find out what was going on. So you know you have something but you don't know what. I would encourage you to relax and wait until you get the results. It is tough but I determined to live my life as normal as I could until I received the biopsy results. If you have something it is not going to go away. If you don't you will waste a lot of energy worrying about nothing. Tough road but hang in the best you can. Keep us posted and know many have been through this and will guide you and advise you. Take the time to get your self in shape in case. You have some time use it to your advantage. Sorry you are here.
