Update: finally got my biopsy results and no cancer
NASH is the diagnosis, so I'm going to keep making healthy life changes.
Thank you all for your support through this. I appreciate the kind thoughts more than you know.

It's been a week today. Im trying not to worry, but this seems like longer than it should take.
On another note, this health crisis has forced me to evaluate my lifestyle. I have drastically changed my diet and am journaling again.
The yard needs mowed, but I'm still not feeling very well. I get completely exhausted just taking my dog out.
It's so high, as I look out the window I expect a lion or tiger to appear.
Anyways, hope you all have a happy weekend. Take care of yourselves and stay out of trouble.

It's hard not to feel insignificant right now. It seems like either the doctor has forgotten me or the lab is getting second opinions on a bad diagnosis.
Either way, the waiting has put me into a kind of "freeze".

I hope you get good news, and your worst fears are put to rest. sending good thoughts your way.

(2,015 posts)These things always seem to end up at the end of the week. So we have to sweat it over the weekend, worrying. I know several people, including myself, that this has happened to.
Hang in there bsm, it's difficult but try to relax as much as you can.
