Stress increasing while waiting

Has anyone noticed while waiting for biopsy results that the stress increases exponentially once you hit the days you may get a response? I was ok yesterday - wasn't really stressing that much, although my abdomen has been iffy all week. Test results are due in today thru Friday and today I'm staring at my phone and stressing completely.

It always helps somehow to know other people are having those same anxious feelings too.  Everyone tells themselves its nothing and it will come back negative but in the back of your mind you are thinking what if it is something.............we are all doing the same thing and its nice to know we are all NORMAL.

Hi everyone,
It's funny but even though I got a "no cancer" phone call from my dr, I still seem to have this lingering & vague anxiety.  I guess all these weeks worrying have taken it's toll.  
I really do apprieciate all of you!  My family and friends seemed to think I was over reacting, but it's easy to say when  it's not your boobs they are biospying.  What I plan to do is to take better care of myself and hopefully this anxious feeling about my health will fade.  
I am thinking of all of you still waiting...you're not alone, we are all here for support!

Try to have a good weekend with me - I didn't hear either. In fact, I called them at the end of the day and got "Oh - I was just getting to your papers. Nope, we haven't heard yet. I'll call them and call you back."

No call... So now the weekend. I'm gonna go play a game on my computer - they're pretty mindless and may take my mind off it for a while.
