Hi there - waiting is always so hard. Do not assume bad news - I keep trying to tell myself to only react to facts I have and try to put the waiting results out of my mind. I’d also suggest letting your doctor that ordered the tests know of the delay and that you are worrying it means bad news. That doctor might be able to reassure you that it’s just standard. But whatever that dr says, try to just deal with facts you have and not worry about pending test (easier said than done I know). Good luck!

Thank you so much for the excellent advice. I did message my Dr. yesterday and let her know I was assuming bad news. Haven't heard back. I get too into my head about these things - but my Dr. is very good and if the reports she does have were very bad she'd have me in there in no time.

I'm usually really good about these things - waiting, etc. - but this time it is quite difficult. Dealing with this for 4 years is starting to wear on me.

I know there are others who are handling much more than I am and I appreciate this forum to speak with people who are experiencing the same issues as I am.
