Gerri,
How wonderful the radiologist had time to do the stereotactic biopsy today. At least you didn't have to wait for that appointment. Too bad the pathologists aren't faster too. I agree a glass of wine sounds wonderful and keep those peas on your biopsy site to minimize swelling and bruising.
Hugs, Nana Karen

Thanks everyone for the support. I knew you would all understand.

Pink: If you could cross your eyes too that might add a little something extra.

This was the first place I thought of coming after my adventure. I didn't dare call my husband at work, so I waited until he got home to tell him. He took the news a lot better than I expected (maybe the fact that I downplayed the whole thing helped). I'm really not too worried right now - I thought I would save that for if and when the time comes. I had my glass of wine and it smoothed out the edges a bit.

Thanks again everyone! I'll let you all know when I get the news.
