Wow, Helen, you are amazing. Yes, all your suggestions speak to me.

You're right, my anxiety and worry is pretty darn normal in these circumstances. I need to accept it. Having a biopsy is pretty scary.

I think it's a good idea for me to write out my worries. I am aware that it can be cancer, but also other things too. As my doctor says, 'It could be just the way I am.' I am also grateful my doctor is taking it seriously. He's a pretty great guy.

I live in Canada, so I don't need insurance for this test - so I am very grateful for this, that's for sure.

Thank you for taking the time to encourage me. I wish you all the best, too.

@suesam Thank you for letting me know that my post spoke to you. I forgot that you are in Canada when I wrote the earlier post. Depending on your province and where you are located I've been informed here on Connect that getting tests done in a timely manner can be a difficult process. I'm so grateful that your doctor is advocating for you and that the insurance problems we encounter in the U.S. aren't a consideration for you. I lived in Québec some years ago and was a permanent resident. While I did not have any serious medical problems at the time my husband needed surgery and PT and we were very grateful for the medical care we both received in Montréal.

I'm wishing you a restful evening and good sleep tonight.
