What I know so far

Ugh....could NOT sleep last night.

Had calls from 4 people.  I don't normally talk on the phone much, but it was really good to do so last night.

I waited all day yesterday for the clinic to call, and they never did.  The anxiety was overwhelming, so I called them at 4:30.

The girl who answered the phone seemed stunned that I had undergone a biopsy first thing Monday morning, and that I hadn't heard anything yet by 4:30 Wednesday.

She put me on hold, and the doctor, not a nurse, answered the line.

My heart sank.

She said she had been waiting to hear back from my gynecologist before calling me, and apologized for the wait.

She said it's invasive ductal carcinoma. She said the good news is it's the most common type of breast cancer, which was a bit comforting.

We will talk again today.

The first thing that has to happen is an MRI, then I will see a surgeon.

Hopefully this will be very soon.
