Rachel,I know exactly how you feel about waiting to hear from Drs. about test results.I don't think that the Drs. realize how anxious we are to get the results and how frustrating the waiting is.You have certainly had more than your share of operations.This is what this forum is all about,being able to vent your anger and frustrations.We all understand because we have all been there.Did the Dr. get back to you yesterday?Keep us posted on what is going on.Remember you are not alone we are all here for you.
