What you do when you are waiting to find out if you have cancer

What a dramatic title, I know. So, I had my biopsy yesterday. It was scary and traumatic and horrible. The doctor told me I could call her on Friday after noon for my results. She said that she only gives the diagnosis, so there is a good chance that she is going to tell me I have thyroid cancer and that I cannot ask her any questions. I have to then go to my doctor. So, I now have two days to wait, wait, wait. 


So, what do you do when you are waiting to find out if you have cancer? 


Well, today I am babysitting my sweet little nephew while his mama is at work. 
I am doing laundry for my kiddos so that they can have clean underwear and clothes for school and clean blankets to sleep with. 
I am thinking about doing dishes............ thinking, thinking, maybe I will do them, maybe not
I had some yummy hot cocoa with homemade whipped cream, so delicious, one of my favorites
Later I will pick up my kiddos from the bus stop and help them with their homework. I will kiss them and hug them a lot. I always do, but maybe a little extra today. 
I am a little weapy, I am trying not to be, but I can't help it.  
My hubby will pick up dinner, because I don't feel like cooking. 
I will kiss and love him a little extra too. 
I will read my 18 pages from the Book of Mormon (I am reading it in 30 days) so I can feel how much my Heavenly Father loves me. :)
Review statistics of thyroid cancer in my head, go here for more
        The American Cancer Society's most recent estimates for thyroid cancer in the United States are for 2010:

• About 44,670 new cases of thyroid cancer will occur (33,930 in women, and 10,740 in men)
• Thyroid cancer will cause about 1,690 deaths (960 women and 730 men).

In general, this is one of the least deadly cancers. The 5-year survival rate (the percentage of people living at least 5 years after being diagnosed) for all cases is about 97 percent.

Thyroid cancer is different from many other adult cancers in that it is commonly diagnosed in younger people. Nearly 2 of 3 cases are found in people between the ages of 20 and 55.

The chance of being diagnosed with thyroid cancer has risen in recent years and is now more than twice what it was in 1990. Some of this increase may be the result of the increased use of thyroid ultrasound, which detects small thyroid nodules that might not otherwise have been found. Still, at least part of the increase is from finding more larger tumors, as well. The death rate from thyroid cancer has been fairly stable for many years, and remains extremely low compared with most cancers.

Try not to really talk about it, but it is what it is and why not tell all of you. I'll blog as soon as I know Friday afternoon I think. Either way, I think I will have to have my thyroid removed because the size of the nodule of the left side. So, it doesn't really matter if there is cancer or not. Or at least that is what I keep telling myself.

Sorry for being so dramatic. :)
