I had to wait a week

I knew that nine out of ten come back benign, but of course, I was nervous for that week. On the day that I was to get the result, I was called early that morning. The doctor that I had the appointment with had thrown us back and they'd canceled the appointments and they'd make me an appointment the next week sometime. I said that no, that wouldn't do, and I spent a good amount of that day making phone calls to the surgery clinic saying I need to come in and be told the results and I don't care if its another surgeon, or medical student, or the receptionist. I want to know. And I did see another surgeon right away who did then give me the diagnosis that it was definitely malignant.
