What scars me is how few providers there are where you live. I think you are handling this so well. I would be a raging maniac.
I'm not good at waiting. So I won't try to coach on that. Writing is an amazing outlet for me. I write what's floating in my mind. I put it on paper where I can arrange the thoughts to do what I need them to do. Mostly it's clarity. I can also usually spin the thoughts so the writing piece is positive or I give myself another way to think about this. This is a good forum. You will receive feedback from very thoughtful people

Thanks, Denise, for your kind thoughts. This forum is great, that's for sure, and I've learned a lot. Actually, writing is a great tool and outlet - great idea. I've been doing a lot of that lately as well. I hope you're doing okay. I got my results of my CT scan and ultrasound and saw that they found nothing except a 6mm thickness of my endometrium. The radiologist called it mild and said if I had symptoms - bleeding - to do a biopsy but if not, to do another ultrasound in a year. But my family doctor wanted to do a biopsy to check it out. I saw him right after the tests so I thought he would do it right there or even the next day. It was near Christmas and he was going away for 2 weeks but also, I was due for a pap smear in March, so he wanted to do both at the same time to save me coming back. So the appt. was made in Jan. So when he couldn't do it in his office, he had to book me in with a gynecologist who told his secretary to book me 4 weeks later. So by the time I see the gynecologist the end of Feb, it will be almost 3 months. I wonder if the fact I'm not 'bleeding' means they're not rushing it. I am stressed about it - even put on a few pounds from stress eating - but I do feel grateful that my family doctor is taking it seriously and is pursuing the biopsy. Too bad he couldn't have done that biopsy in his office - because I would have answers already. Thanks for listening. I appreciate it.
