I just got my call for an appointment with the lung specialist with the results of my lung Biopsy I had done last Thursday.. Of course my husband and I are thinking" is it good that we get results this fast or is it bad:?. Wow I don't think I have ever been this stressed in my life. I am so afraid of small cell lung cancer because I have lost so many family members from this terrible cancer. But hope because I quit smoking over 10 years ago and really was a occasional smoker back then maybe I will get a pass. I know my oncologist believes it Mets because I do have a small spot on my spine that showed up in the CT scan . But I'm extremely worried.

I wonder how am I going to tell my boys. I cant bare to see the faces. I need some good news its been 2 months of only bad news. I am bracing for the worst. I do not know if I have it in me for another fight. I will do what I have to but hoping I get mad and then even.

thanks for listening

    Pip,

    I know for sure you have it in you for another fight, if you have to. After all, you said you have boys. Moms of boys are tough. You can do it, if you have to.

    When is your appointment? Is the appointment for results? Personally, I think fast results are good news

    Couldn't they have told you over the phone? Personally I'd rather hear it from the privacy of my own home, especially if it might be bad news. I woulnd't try to overanalyze how long results take as a hint if it's good or bad either... I used to read into things like that and then realized the hospital has a huge flow of things that have nothing to do with me, they do things when they can. I would feel more scared if they just made an appointment for the results without giving me information or saying it's benign over the phone. This is not easy...
