Hi Linda,
I know what you are going through right now, I've been going through it myself, although I have not made it as far as a biopsy yet. I guess the only advice I can give is to please don't let your worries get the best of you. I know this is hard. The wait is torture but try to do things everyday to keep your mind off of it. I've let my worries ruin my holidays and a relationship with a wonderful man. I cried every day and night, every time I looked at my children. I was a wreck and I still am in a sense because of all the unanswered questions I still have (my recent post would be proof) but I learned to get a better handle on it by talking to people who've been there and taking their advice as hard as it is. A friend of mine gave me something to think about that seemed to help. She asked me how I would feel if the doctor told me everything was ok, would all the worry have been worth it? I still have to remind myself of this quite often. I'm sure there are other ladies on this board that will help bring you peace also. So many women have been through much worse and the thing that amazes me is that they are so positive and supportive. Hang in there Linda!
