I'm sorry to here that Molly. Sending love and hugs for your hellish month to Phils next appointment 💖 

That was insensitive on Doc's part. It gives one's mind the opportunity to conjure all sorts of horror stories!

Does your healthcare cover patient advocacy? Might be worth looking into. Sometimes just having that back up makes the whole thing easier.

I'm sorry molly. Bad news is always hard to process. 

I understand your fear and anxiety. My husband has had a lot of concerning symptoms for a while now which my gut tells me it's something serious. He finally has a doctor's appointment in two weeks. He's skeptical because in the past he's gone through a whole battery of tests and they all come back normal. It's frustrating. 

Take each day for what it's worth and keep supporting each other. I'll keep thinking positive thoughts for you and Phil. 

i remember the first time you went how worried you were.

i remember when the news was good.

i will send all the positives i can and hope things improve.

i like what @Kitt said.  and yeah, the doctor could have been a bit more forthcoming considering ..

i'm sorry, honey xoxox

I have found that doctors often don’t tell you very much and it’s not necessarily because the news is bad. Because they are knowledgeable about a condition they sometimes assume that their patients know equally as much. Maybe you could call someone at the clinic and ask them to explain further? It might stop you from fearing the worst. Hope it turns out well, anyway.
