No word yet from doctor

The plan was, as usual, to phone the gynae's rooms in the morning, then he would phone me with the results at the end of his working day. He didn't call. I became so anxious that I phoned his emergency pager, and left a message. What do I care if he is annoyed. He didn't call. So I took 20 deep breaths and went to a function.
Guess he will phone tomorrow. A colleague who also had a D&C in the past - well, she said she has had three - said she waits a week for the results. Oh well.
I don't think anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer, and then went through chemo, radiation and whatever, can imagine the anxiety one feels waiting for test results. That sure does sound arrogant, but so be it.

All well!

Delighted to report that both tests I had on Monday are negative for cancer - the pap smear and the Z-sampler.
Had to phone the gynaecologist's emergency pager for the second time before he phoned me with the results. But he did apologise and did seem to understand that for me, getting the results was an emergency, was urgent.
I am so pleased that I was assertive enough to phone his emergency pager again this afternoon when he didn't phone me this afternoon and his rooms were closed. He was rushing to theatre for an emergency, he said.
I am relieved. Totally relieved. I kept thinking he is trying to protect me, trying to give me a few more carefree days before he breaks the news, and I kept thinking he is being negligent... one can work oneself up.
Glad I can now relax over the weekend.
