How do I cope while waiting for biopsy results and hiding marks at work?
Community Member
a day agoI went to the doctor on Friday and they froze a lot of areas and took five biopsies three on my face two on my hand and arm. And now I wait for results I’m scared and unsure how to feel. I’m not recover it from the world. I am a teacher working summer camp for junior high students. It’s a band camp. I go to work tomorrow wondering how I’m gonna cover my face so many red marks all over it I wanna cry, but tears won’t come. I don’t know how to feel. I wanna be strong. I know God‘s got me, but I’m scared.
