Thank you very much! It will be good to get it over with.

I know we've had back and forths on other topics, but I hope your appointment goes as smoothly as possible. I feel very confident, given everything that has happened, that you will be get good results on your biopsy. Hopefully the interlude between the procedure and the results is short. As it happens, I have an MRI tomorrow and will also be waiting for results for a couple of weeks.

Seems a few of us have some pretty important appointments tomorrow! I am praying and sending good vibes your way. The waiting is the worst part but it's good that we have a support system like this to get us through. We got this! Whatever the outcome!

Woke up with a headache. Sure from my daughter calling at 4 in the morning plus the stress of the day. Felling like I want to throw up again. Half tempted to call off the appointment but I won't. Hate being scared like this. Just wish this nightmare was over.

Will be worth it once it's all done, definitely don't prolong it any longer. We're all here if you need to vent

Thank you. Just need to get it over with. And my period has been wonky again. Just light spotting. Hopefully from the stress.

What's your MRI for?

 

[ThankfulJen]

So the biopsy went fine. A lot less painful than I thought it would be. She never once reassured me that it was not cancer which I think is fine. Can't imagine if she reassured me and was wrong. She said the ultrasound was good enough that a follow up wasn't even recommended. She also said the teansvaginal didn't really show cancer save the endometrial lining being too thick, which mine was not. When she did the pap, she said everything looked good. No abnormalities, fibroids, polyps etc. She said she would get the results in about a week. Also that everything so far(tests, pap, etc.) seemed reassuring. I'm trying to think positive.
How did your MRI go, @Fraser?

Glad everything went well for you today. Looks like we’re waiting out biopsy results together this week!

Yes!! We can definitely lean on one another for this excruciating wait. How are you holding up?

 

[SB2017]

I am ok for a little bit, if I’m heavily distracted but then when it pops back in my head, my inside literally drop and then I have a hard time focusing after that. How about you?

 

[ThankfulJen]

Same. I am fine if distracted. But then, out of nowhere, fear washes over. I knew this was how it would be. But doesn't make it easier. I try to think positively. I go over all the reasons it will be fine but the HA in me throws that right out the window.

If she said "don't worry, it's not cancer" while giving you a test to see if it's cancer, she would be sh*t at her job. All they are doing at this point is due diligence. So far you had a symptom that could be cancer but is much more commonly benign and literally everything they've done has indicated that it's benign.

My MRI went fine. I've waited for it for months and should get the results in about a week. Due to the fact that I currently had a pretty good lid on my HA, I'm feeling okay. I feel like when they tell me to come in to speak with the doctor about my results, I might start sweating bullets at that point. But why? Why would that change anything? Anyway, I'll be curious to see how I handle it.

Just keep doing it. Keep making the mental effort to reassert yourself in the face of your anxiety. Tell yourself that the anxiety is causing you to think without clarity and return your mind to that clarity. In time it will get easier and more automatic. When it doesn't feel like it's working, do it anyway. Think of it as going to the gym where right now your muscles are weak, but as you train them you will get stronger. Time and effort will free you from your HA!

I am glad it was not painful and went fine.
Yeah that's good news. I am pretty sure you will get good results. No need to worry really
