Welcome to OCF! Im sorry to read about what you have already gone thru. Luckily you have now found our site. We will help you with info and support.

You are now being treated at one of the best comprehensive cancer centers (CCC) in the US. Waiting is the worst!!! Ive been in your shoes and its very difficult to focus on anything besides "what if...". Anxiety is not good for anyone, so do your very best to keep busy. By doing things that take lots of concentration it will help you to stay calm.

Tuesday is right around the corner. It will be about another week after the biopsy until you get the results. More waiting, UGH!!! We have a saying around here... " its not cancer until the biopsy says it is". Repeat this to yourself over and over until you believe it. Ive had many scares that turned out to be nothing. Hopefully this will be nothing serious and you can go on with your recovery and life.

Hang in there!!!
