Holy @#$%!

I indeed know.  

and and and...know that you are not alone but in the thoughts and prayers of many.

 

Always wondered just how to spell it. And that's some strong language, Theresa, for this board:)

I, of course, have my computer on my lap looking up words like pleomorphic and microcalcifications. And wondering just how hard it would be for the surgeon's office to actually pick up a phone and call me back and let me make an appointment. Honestly, waiting is not my strong suit. 

Thanks for responding. I appreciate hearing from you.

F***!

Victoria, I'm sure I'm thinking the same thing you're thinking:  F***!

You know we're all here waiting with you.  For your part, you've got to try, try, TRY not to get ahead of yourself until you get the biopsy results (I know how easy it is to say that).  You don't want to spend the next days and sleepless nights wasting all your time worrying about something that may not even happen.  As best you can, try to wait to worry until you know what it is you have to worry about.  Worrying should be efficient, no? 

Big hug to you,

Traci

Yes, Traci, worrying should be efficient. So I'll try to avoid random acts of useless worrying. I knew you'd have some advice. Just hang on to that gently used drain belt:) 

Can I just say I much prefer the role of being supportive and not the one needing support?

I now have a job to be your support!

Worrying just makes me want a donut... lucky for you the best donut shop ever is just down the PCH so that is positive #1, 2. Same breast means most likely a local recurrance (that is if it isnt scar tissue or just calcifications [which could be 3]). 4. The bus will be available.. so you have tons of support! 5. You already know us all and how awesome everyone is so you dont have to worry about us and you know we are all here for you and hoping and praying that this is a benign waste of time. Now honestly when I saw the post my heart dropped, this is F'#%&@ Up. Patience is a virtue that bypassed me, so I truly do know what it feels like to have to wait at all.. I wish they could have done a biopsy today. and that it will just be calcifications. I am sending hugs and prayers and I am sure you heard the other stuff I had to say! (I did develop a colorful vocabulary even tho no patience). Keep us posted, and please let me know when and where you get the appt. Are you part of the new.cancer facility I heard about in San Marcos? Or call me. Carol

I think it's interesting how many of us respond to bad news with cursing:) And we all spell the words differently.

If donuts shipped well, I'd send you a box from VG's. A donut just doesn't fix this. Nor does being cranky so I may as well stop that, too. 

Three doctors, and I'm funneled back to the surgeon. I like her, but she and her office are not known for their speediness. I'm still waiting for a call, for the authorization to schedule the biopsy. I'd handle this better if I could get on with it. But just sitting around waiting for her to give me a call -- that doesn't work for me. 

Thanks, Carol, for your 5 positives. I'll keep you all posted. I see no reason to alarm my family so you guys are gonna have to bear the brunt of receiving my every thought during this process. Oh, lucky you.

Oh Cr@p!

Victoria, I am really sorry to hear this!  I HOPE that when you finally get your doctor on the phone and the biopsy done that the news will be good.  Waiting is maddening.  Expletives do help, I "swear" it!  Go for it, say your favorite and keep saying it until you feel a little better.  I just got through an endometrial biopsy because of hyperplasia and it turned out fine so I'm hopeful that yours will be too. 

Hang in there as best you can.

Best,

Clementine

Well, I finally got authorization and scheduled the biopsy for Monday the 2nd.  For the moment everything that can be done has been done and I'll carry on with my little life till it's time to be disrupted again:)

Thanks for the responses. It's nice to have a familiar place to come to.

xoxo
