When do you see the doctor to get the results? I know it's not easy, but try to keep yourself busy until then. Try to not worry too much. Please let me know how it goes.

Prayers and hopes for good news are headed your way, sassy kitty. Waiting for results is very stressful. Now is the time to use whatever distraction or self soothing strategies work for you as well as to lean on your family/friend/online supports as needed. Do let us know how you are doing through this part of your journey.

Sending hope that they find nothing of consequence. The next couple days may be anxiety provoking. Waiting on results is for so many. As the others mentioned keep busy, or use meditation to keep the “what ifs?” away.

I hope the results will be good and nothing will be serious. Stay calm & be positive until your results come. Don't panic yourself by overthinking, spend most of the time with your loved ones and try to avoid the bad thoughts and try to be stress-free as well.

Make yourself busy with the work as much you can.

Best wishes & good luck!

I’m going to take it as a good sign that they are not rushing an appointment.

Due to my self isolating decision not to leave the house we are going to do a teleconference visit on April 1. I have COPD and Diabetes as well as that nodule. I did not want to chance the virus. Stay safe and healthy.
