Tomorrow I get the results back from my biopsy. Tomorrow I find out if I have cancer. The past week has been a very strong contrast from the week before. Before my biopsy I felt in limbo, like I was living in the unknown where the results could go either way but I was hung up on the negative. Since the biopsy I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, even before hearing any results. Since the biopsy I've felt like the odds are in my favor. I don't know what the catalyst for this change in attitude was but I'm just glad I haven't spent this week freaking out over a result I can't control. Either way I'm gonna get through this but right now I'm positive about what the Doctor is going to tell me tomorrow. I feel confident that I don't have cancer.
Either way I will have to go in for another surgery to remove the lump in my leg. Even the tiny biopsy was a bit of a recovery so I know I'm going to be laid up for a bit. Guess that's the side effect of having a golf ball cut out of your body. I'm hopeful I can get everything done locally so that I don't have to drive to the big city for the operation.
This is a time in my life that I'm very thankful to live where I do. In the midst of all the changes in my life over the past year I'm not sure I could of handled a stack of medical bills. I got married in July, just finished moving and am in the process of buying and selling a house. Plus the Christmas season is never easy on the wallet. While I do wish the process had been a bit quicker I'm glad to live somewhere that provides free healthcare.
Whether it's good news or bad, I will let you all know for everything went after my appointment tomorrow.
love,
