Donna, I'm waiting also, I've had a CtScan and Ultrasound showing tumors on the liver. I'm waiting for ultrasound based biopsy for the real proof. It's been over 3 weeks and no appointment yet. They say the paperwork is in the system. What else can I do? Worring is bad for my health! I had tonsil cancer 4 years ago. I was told 2 months ago I was pretty much cured! Things change. If this is the same cancer (a secondary)thats been growing for years, a month or two isn't going to matter. I read a book by Bernadine Healy MD "Living Time" Transforming your Cancer Journey. She suggests we use our waiting time wisely without panic and understand that even though this is a very serious illness,We have time! It's not a heart attack,even though it feels that. I always feel as though I need to be doing something,too.So I'm spending time taking care of myself,healthy foods,relaxation exercises,soothing music,swimming and so on. I'm reducing stress any way I can. I know in the next few weeks,I'll have the biopsy and the results a few days later. I will be in the right place to make decisions and continue with my life, with all it's ups and downs and the many surprises that come one way or another. My heart goes out to you. It is difficult waiting.... Tom Roussell
