Well, I think it's hard NOT to think about the negative side of things. At least while you're waiting. I'm not sure that everyone "gets" that. It's all well and good to tell someone to 'stay positive' and 'look on the bright side' and 'embrace life,' but when it's YOU that's waiting for a potentially life-changing diagnosis, it's hard to think of anything but that. At least, it was for me. And my therapist kept telling me the same things, and I was completely unable to work on anything until I KNEW, one way or the other. Being in limbo was impossibly awful.
I'm sure you'll be OK, and I hope the results come soon!
And give yourself time, you'll eventually be able to get past your current position.
Take care! :)
