May2019,

I agree with KristenS, that you should seek assistance with a counselor or therapist and or someone to talk with. Speaking here is a first step, but it may take more. Waiting is the worst, I can tell you that! Plus you’re waiting for a diagnosis, and the mind can travel, sometimes in the worst way.

Moving up the biopsy was a good move. I hate to wait, and would bypass many to get my results when in the past some doctors made you wait until you saw them. I have no patience for some things like waiting.

Good luck with your results!
