Skin biopsy

gb2115

I wasn't sure where to put this. I had a suspicious spot biopsied a few days ago. It was on my previously radiated breast and I am pretty sure it didn't look that way before.

I'm nervous. She said results within 2 weeks. I guess I am just reaching out to anyone who might have gone through this before. I'm having significant anxiety about not only the possibility of a second cancer in a year's time but also about my healing biopsy wound. I obsess pretty badly about stuff like this and worry (excessively) about infection--like checking it a lot. A lot!! It was really bad after my lumpectomy...any bit of red I will assume I am about to die from infection. My husband thinks I am headed to the looney bin because he says it looks great and looks like healing skin should--a little red but otherwise normal.

<<Sigh>>

I am afraid another Christmas is about to be ruined...
