I hold off until the afternoon to send a message to my surgeon's nurse, asking about the biopsy results.
Her chilly reply is that the doctor will be out for a long weekend until next Tuesday; "we'll be in touch" then to discuss the next steps.
Oh, hell, no. I call the Cancer Center and explain my predicament. They take my phone number, and within an hour, my oncologist's nurse calls me back with some news - the right breast biopsy is negative for cancer.
We still don't have the results of the genetic tests, and I'm just going to assume that no one with a medical degree is going to do or say anything until those are back. And hey, my surgeon isn't around until next Tuesday, anyway!
