It is easy to say try not to worry until you know you have something to worry about. Many women have false alarms but it is hard not to react until you get an answer. Waiting is hard. I took walks, watched Netflix, and yes, I asked doc for some ativan, just a few, so I could sleep. I never used it twice in a row and 1/4 pill was plenty for me but it was a godsend.
@calygirl84, that must be very worrying. But diagnosis or ruling out cancer takes several steps. It's not easy to stay calm through it all.

I suggest scrolling through the messages @casa got from fellow members when she, like you, was concerned about biopsy results. See the posts from @kk57 @auntieoakley @roch @windyshores and others.
Caly, May is a while to wait for the next test. What do you do to keep you mind calm?
