Waiting.

If you had a lump and a biopsy deemed it benign, would you still want it removed?

What if you had multiple lumps?

What if they biopsied just one of those lumps? Could you resist the worry that the one biopsy will miss the real issue?

Would you be able to sleep at night without worrying about if the biopsy was done on the correct lump??? Ugh. Uncertainty sucks.

So the one biopsy IS good, and I do celebrate this.... what about the other lump? Why didn't they take more samples? Why are my breasts ticking time bombs?

I hate this part of being a woman. I can handle the verdict, I can't handle the waiting.

As Tom Petty says, "The waiting is the hardest part."

I had a false positive for something they thought they saw on a mammogram- it drove me absolutely crazy with stress and worry! The waiting for the results was just awful- I can totally identify
