Waiting, and is it better than knowing...

Last week I had three more areas on my left breast biopsied.
I spent Thanksgiving hunched over in pain, but managed to entertain family members and even do a bit of cooking. To everyone’s credit, they’ve been wonderfully helpful. But they still expect more of me than I feel capable of right now.
It’s been six days since the biopsy, should I be having shooting pains in my breast? I called teh doctor’s office and they said to come in, but there’s no sign of infection (just looks like someone ran over my left breast with a truck!) so I declined to go in. Don’t even have the energy to go in after six appointments in seven days.
Today I wait for my surgeon to give me the results of the second biopsy. Rather than start another crying jag (why do I have to have PMS AND cancer? Bad combination!) I read all your lovely posts and am filled with a gratitude and hopefulness that has gone markedly missing from my life. Maybe I will live through this.
But somehow, I still hope the doctor gets too busy to call me tonight, and I have one more night of innocence.

What ever comes you will handle it. You can handle it and you will. Good luck and I really hope you get good news.

hugs
