My appt was for 2:00 pm; I was right on time. At 2:10 I was told the results weren't available yet,

a few minutes later the next patient arrived - her results were available yet either which surprisingly made me feel a bit better. Then the third patient arrived; we all waited together, shared stories, and tried to make each other feel better. I was finally called in at 2:45, just as the fourth patient arrived. Less than one minute later I was on my way to schedule a six-month recheck mammogram. Patient number 2 and 3 were both in the parking lot by the time I got there. Patient number 2 was being checked for a recurrence of her cancer; she was visibly relieved. We all did a happy dance in the parking lot and wished each other well.
Mr B and I shared a bottle of champagne. The girls did their own version of happy dancing.
Thank you all so very much for your good wishes and support, they were very much appreciated.
