I get a surgical biopsy tomorrow, approx six weeks after I originally found a painful lump in my breast. Then I wait until August 3rd for the follow-up appointment that will tell me if I have breast cancer. I hear you, feel you, and walk beside you in the deep waiting. I keep reminding myself - I've done everything I can do. I scheduled the appointments. I am on clear fluids today. The rest is out of my control. And, I don't know until I know. So until then, when I start to spiral into different outcomes and implications, I come back to - I don't know. It is not time to know yet. Sending a big hug, cause I know the waiting and uncertainty can be brutal.
