So sorry you've got this to contend with at this time of year, it's an added pressure you don't need. I know it is hard not to focus on this, but the truth is, the odds are still in your favor, for a benign result.

We all understand how you're feeling, the not knowing, is brutal. My own testing and Dx then my surgery were all around the Holidays and I had to wait till well into the New Year, for final pathology. I know how hard it is to keep your mind from wandering there, every chance it gets. the one thing I did learn, was that the stressing doesn't change the outcome, but it can make you ill.

I wish you all the very best, try to enjoy your holiday and let us know how you get on. Hugs to you!

Thanks Ariom for taking the time to respond. i am trying to keep busy as i am sure everyone else is. I need to limit the googling in a big way. Best wishes to everyone

Seriouslystressed, I have to say, step away from Dr Google, it really is scary and there is so much out of date information, out there. I am a great believer in educating yourself, once you know what you are dealing with. The Googling before you know what your Dx is, with limited information, really can be very frightening.

I know it feels like forever, but you will have answers soon, as I said, it may well be, that you have nothing to worry about, if the worst does happen, you will have a plan and the support of this network of women, who will surround you and share their experiences.

Just keep in mind, the women here, are the 20% who have a positive Dx, There are another 80% who felt this fear, but received a benign result. I am hoping you'll be in the 80%!
