I've also been there wishing to get it over with, so I know how you feel. When I inquired about getting it done sooner my surgeon at a CCOE told me that they prefer to wait 6 - 8 weeks after the biopsy to let the tissue heal from the biopsy. So waiting 3 months doesn't sound excessive to me. Reflecting back my wait time was about 11 weeks. I used the time to workout, start Kegels, and drop a few pounds trying to get ready for the surgery. In hindsight, it would have been a good time to find a good PT. Best wishes.

@retireditguy Very good point. Use the time to introduce yourself to the wonderful world of pelvic floor exercises.
