The waiting part can be filled with anxiety. Thats probably the hardest part of this, not knowing if its cancer. It will take about a week after the biopsy to get your results. Please dont spend the next couple weeks worrying. That can make you feel sick and isnt productive. Its summer, the weather is nice try to enjoy it.
