Worried and not diagnosed

Mhutton - The worst part of all of this is the waiting. We have all (meaning those of us on this site) been there. Try to keep yourself busy with things you enjoy, it will make time go by a little faster. As far as the anxiety, you may want to call and discuss with your PCP. I wish I could give you better advice.I hope everything comes back in your favor. Sending you positive vibes and warm thoughts.

MHutton, it’s great your doctor is ordering the two guided biopsies! They are very precise, so you should end up feeling good about the accuracy of the results! I have found some radiologists and anesthesiologists to be rather robotic, which stinks when you’re scared, but probably made them excellent med students, lol!

If you’re worried about lymph node involvement, I don’t think they really know for sure until surgery or a lymph node biopsy. Maybe just focus on the two biopsies you have coming up rather than borrowing trouble? I know that’s easier said than done during this initial waiting stage. It’s a busy time of year, so maybe you could get involved in a coat drive, mail holiday cards, etc. For sure speak with your doctor about getting something for anxiety. It’s easy enough to feel terrified at the possible dx without already having known health anxiety! You don’t have to take it forever, but it can help get through this time

I just realized you are the same person who posted the radiology report. It would be a good idea to combine them into a single post so it's easier for people to keep track!
