I know this is a very hard time, most of us have been exactly where you are. This is not as common with patient portals but still happens. This time lapse between test and results can be exhausting. They even have a name for it.
Try to breathe, and remember, findings can take time to gather all the information. 💕
I would rather my doctor order a retake or a new test and be sure. Then I am more confident if he says it is not there and you are fine, or if he says they found something but caught it precancerous or early cancer.
You had some form of pre cancer 6 months ago correct, are you confident in that diagnosis? Was this LCIS or DCIS, what was the journey to find that?
