Awwwww... Helen, you are so sweet to keep me in mind. Thanks for asking. I am so nervous and scared yet glad to have this day drawing closer. I don't even know if he's doing a biopsy that day or if it is a meet and greet sort of thing. I'm going to prepare by taking Advil just in case he tries in his office. This will make it 3 months since I was told I need a biopsy. I know my doctor attempted one at the 5 week mark, but waiting 3 months is so darn long. I try to be positive and not think of it but it literally hangs over my head every single day. And I find it hard talking about it. I'm super close to my sister but every time I mention cancer she tells me not to be negative. Another close friend says the same. I am not a negative person at all but my reality is - that it could be cancer. I'm being realistic about it all. But I am scared, that's for sure. Thanks for listening.

@suesam I sure understand why you are nervous. You are having this biopsy to rule out cancer and I do hope the biopsy results are negative. Talking about your fears to your sister and your close friend must be difficult when they kind of argue with you about your reality. It could be cancer but of course you hope it is not. You are doing everything possible to take care and advocate for yourself in a medical system that has had many delays. That's so difficult because waiting is really hard.
I've learned over the years that some people want to talk me out of my feelings such as "oh, don't worry". Well, I do worry so how about asking me what specifically worries me? The very best and most loving thing we can do for one another is to listen.
So this is me listening.
