Skelly - no you are not alone - waiting for the results is the worst bit. If they come back positive it's time to be positive if you can. The health professionals in my experience are generally excellent at what they do and will do all they can to get you through this. I said to my wife recently when we were discussing whether to tell our son about my biopsy on the 4th of July that telling a concerned relative about a biopsy is the opposite of "a problem shared is a problem halved" - more like a problem doubled! If your biopsy is positive and if it has been caught early, in my all too extensive experience the outcome should be good. Any physical after effects can be dealt with - number one priority is get the tumour out. I wish you all the luck and hope this is nothing more than a scare, but if not I can assure you it is possible to get through this.
