Thank you polkagal. Great advice. I feel so frozen - like my life has come to a halt. I thought I would have had the biopsy and would be waiting for results now instead of still worrying about the biopsy and waiting for a gynecology appt. But you're right - I need to be more proactive and build strength. Instead I've been stress eating, not sleeping well, and just plain stressed. I felt good calling today and knowing that I do have a referral. I was also pleased that my doctor referred me to someone closer to my home which is great. It took 5 weeks to get the biopsy and then when he couldn't do it, it left me in a state of confusion. But I need to get on with my life and take better care of myself. Thanks. You've helped me a lot.

@suesam @ polkagal is so right. This is you being proactive about your own health and yourself. I find that what I anticipate is often far worse than the reality. Another way to say this is that all my worry about what may or may not happen leads me to think up all sorts of dire things. Then, when I confront whatever it is I'm afraid of instead of avoidance or turning away from it I feel much better. It's not that you are avoiding anything. But all this waiting would cause anyone to worry. So whatever you would like to do for yourself is bound to be empowering for you. What interests you? Improving your diet? A new activity?
