i feel your pain christine, i went through that too. mine wasn't cancer. i had a hysterectomy rather than all those tests. it is scarry. don't wait 3wks. call the dr in one wk. the worst that will happen is surgery. i am wishing you good results.................malikye

please dont worry. my mom had cancer the most unknown kind. she is remission. but just a few months ago she thought it was back. she went in for a cat scan and had her first panic attack. but do you know what they found? nothing or really nothing. they found a uterine fibroid. its just a mass. you can have it surgically removed or do nothing about it. it cant hurt you its not cancer. a lot of women have these and do nothing about them. this may be your problem. i worked in pathology for a year (the place where everything comes) but as scared as many of these people were. many of them were fine. my advice to you is to not get to scared. it probably is nothing. for right now there is nothing you can do (except worry) which will get you nowhere fast. remember that you are strong and that no matter what you face God will be right there with you and so will everyone on this site. they are such wonderful supportive peoople. i will pray for you

The wait flat out sucks. I had to wait once for an x-ray because I had very bad pains in my chest (it was a side-effect of Zoloft) anyways I had to wait till after the holidays. I called in 2 days, then 3 days and then I called the day after the holiday and explained to them that I was freaking out and the chest pain was getting worse. I was able to get results in a week. So try in a week. MY GOODNESS A WEEK FEELS LIKE A YEAR. Try to remain calm by thinking..."ok if something is wrong we can fix it now." The sooner you act on "girly parts" issues the better. Meaning by taking care of it you not just letting it go and if something is wrong your chances of "fixing it" are much much higher. Pleae try to hang in there. I too had a biopsy and had some issues and no problems since. Praise God! If you want to email me peronally I am willing to share more of that story.

You know, even though three wks truly sucks, I had two breast biopsies in '07 and I had to wait only 2 to 3 days and I just about lost it. Everything turned out fine and so will yours. Like the other poster said, either way, you will deal with it. I kept telling myself that no matter what, I am going to be okay. You'll be fine.

I feel like the past 24 hours was a month. I don't know how I am going to do this!!! I feel so weak right now and fed up.

Thank you for the support.
