I'm scared
I got a note in the mail from my doctor. (I guess she couldn't find my present telephone number in my chart.) She wants me to call her about a test result.

Usually, w/ this test, if it's ok, you just a get a note in the mail saying "your test came back normal."

This isn't small... if there's an issue here, it won't be small.


I'm scared.

5. Don't panic
Sometimes they just need to repeat a teat because of a lab error, or an ambiguous result.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that that's the case.

6. Try not to guess
just follow up. Maybe you paid too much and are getting a $10,000 refund.

I hope all is well.

Vibes your way.

7. UPDATE:
The nurse says the test is "abnormal" but not pre-cancerous. They want to repeat the test in 3 months, just to keep an eye on things.

I feel much better now.

12. Well, I'd say it's better that they caught something that wasn't cancerous
than the other way around. :)
