Biopsies today

Less than one minute read time.

Alarm went off at 5.30am this morning.  We had to leave home by 7am to get to the hospital for 9am.  Saw 2 senior consultants who both felt that the swelling on my gums is probably a cancerous tumour.  So I didn't get the teeth extracted as planned, just some punch biopsies instead.

They said I was incredibly good during the biopsies, but I didn't feel a thing, so it was pretty easy.  It took around 20 minutes and I did a visualisation meditation that my holistic healer wrote for me.  It's called a walk through the enchanted forest to the magic castle.  It was great, took my mind off things completely.

So now it's a 2 week wait for the biopsy results.  In the meanwhile I'll be getting appointments for a couple more scans.  I've now got the dreaded 2WW code on my paperwork. 

The wait goes on.
