@tally9004 Welcome to our support group. The emotions of calm to panic sound about right to me. It's a shock to get this information and nerve wracking while you await the biopsy. When I heard the word "cancer", in my case uterine cancer, my whole consciousness shifted. In fact, I made a wrong turn on a road I'd driven many times on my way home from the gynecologist's office. I was in an unfamiliar neighborhood and once I "woke up" I easily corrected my route but it was an unsettling experience for me. I knew why it happened but I felt like I was existing in another world as I absorbed the information.
What time is your biopsy tomorrow?

I had a biopsy from my ob/gyn and it was vulvar melanoma. Have an appt. now at mayo with a gynecologist oncologist on Dec 6th. Will she have to do another biopsy or do a pet scan to find out if it is in the lymph nodes?

Hi, It is the case where I will get a call from the surgery center after 3 pm today to tell me when to come in. I think the fact that my doctor wanted to do it in as a minor surgery with drugs like in a colonoscopy is not real comforting. The not knowing for sure until the results come in is awful. I hope it is early in morning since I can't eat after midnight. I am a get up at 5 am and have breakfast at 5:30 kind of person.
