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.

Hi   I am in the boat with you.  I had the biopsy yesterday, my doctor said it she would know by Thurs or Friday.  I have some new calcifciations they were unsure about.   I am a nervous wreck.   I feel the same way you do.
Maybe we can calm each other down!
