Better to wait and get it RIGHT, think of it that way?

I waited longer than I ought to have, but it's because we had no idea it WAS cancer. Once we did, it seemed everything moved a little too quickly. Time becomes very weird... I'd had a sore spot for months, and part of those months were being bumped up the doctor chain for treatment. Finally my ENT said, "It's not healing, let's just cut it out and give it a fresh start." He may have been thinking cancer, but he never said it, so I had no idea. But my biopsies were done while i was under anesthesia, so I woke up to more answers than it sounds like you have yet. So I just had my waiting at a different part. On the other hand. it was probably scary for my husband ... we went in for a tiny little thing and he gets that kind of news while I'm still blissfully sleeping it off! After that, I do recall a lot of 'hurry up and wait' follow-ups with oncologists, sigh. But at that point mine was determined to have been fully removed, so it was a different kind of hurry up and verify.

Still ((hugs)) ... waiting for anything except a holiday present is just annoying.
