Hi Heather,
And another welcome from a relative newbie! This is a truly awesome forum.

I know too well how gut wrenching must be to wait for the biopsy results. In the meantime please try to occupy yourself with something, your favorite hobby, anything.

Holding thumbs for you ( In Eastern Europe where I am originally from we use this expression instead of crossing fingers) and best of luck!
