IT'S NOT CANCER
Just in case any of you were left on tenterhooks and don't also follow me on Twitter...
Let me put your minds at ease. The biopsy came back (two days later) with benign growth. There was celebrating in my house and the people who have my back at work were very supportive in their being full of good thoughts and encouragement.
So, although I will still be getting the LAVH surgery, at least it will just be for pain and heavy bleeding associated with uterine fibroids instead of a continuous state of panic and uncertainty. I'll still have ovaries (so no need for HRT or a potential crash menopause) but everything else is coming out. Yay!
Regardless, I think my new doc is fantastic and proactive and all the other good things you can say about doctors that actually care about the welfare of their patients.
Woooooooooo!
