    Well all, it was a tough evening. My mammogram came back just fine, no issues. HOWEVER, it's my other girl parts that are severely abnormal and require a biopsy inside of the next 3 months. On a scale of 1-3, with 3 being the worst, yep, I scored a 3. That's me, always striving to be the best! Shocking part is I've never had an abnormal pap, ever.

    Oh boy..

    Why aren't they doing the biopsy right away, if this is a #3 level concern?

    Sending positive vibes out to you Gayle.

    I was wondering the same as what Pat said - why such a wait??? But then, Canada operates a whole lot differently than the U.S. in the healthcare department, as I have learned from another Canadian friend.

    Gayle, if it was REALLY horrid they would have packed you into a hospital NOW for a biopsy! I hope the biopsy is soon so you don't have to wait.

    HUGS!

    I couldn't even post as I read along, keeping my fingers crossed, waiting for the results.

    Prayers from RI for you.

    May just be a minor thing. I had a pap come back abnormal, had biopsies done and ended up having cryosurgery (sp). Check-ups every six months for two years and haven't a problem since and that's been 25+ years ago.

    Will pray that yours is the same minor kind of thing.

    Thanks all for the good thoughts. Couple more days to wait. The stress is eating me up, but at least it was only 3 weeks worth, not longer.
