dreadful waiting period

Ah. I don't know whether I needed to start pulling out my hair as the phone call could not have come soon enough. I believe this is the hardest part (waiting). Once you have the diagnosis you can begin to weigh your options or treatments. When you are left to your own thoughts the worst scenarios begin to drift in and out of your mind. Nothing can be focused on. The hours feel like days and the days feel like months.
