I had a cancer scare last year.  My doctor found a strange mole. I had to wait a week for the biopsy to come back.  It was a long wait!
I can't imagine what that must have felt like. What helped you get through it?
Xanax!  Just kidding.  I didn't have much help dealing with it because I didn't tell anyone.
At least you kept your sense of humor! 
In retrospect!  I was pretty freaked out.  My family was mad at me for not telling them, but I didn't want them to worry.
