Talk me off the ledge

I'm so nervous. Tomorrow I have a mammo and in the past I had an issue that was not cancer but could be a pre-curser for it down the road.

I was being monitored for it and I have let 2 years pass without a test..now I have to get it done.

I know that the chances are good that there's nothing wrong..I have no lumps or anything but the fear that I've let it go too long and I may have a problem.

Terrified is more like it and I know I'm being negative..I shouldn't..but I'm too scared.

I have thought about canceling, but I know I shouldn't. I just have to get it done so I can go on from here.

Thanks for listening..wish it was over already.

I am so sorry that you are feeling such anxiety and fear over this.

Personally, I try to live by the motto "I am not going to worry unless someone gives me something to worry about."

I know, easier said than done! As much as you want to, do not cancel this appointment. You are probably going to go, find out that everything is OK and then be so glad that you went!

Hang in there, breathe, and keep us updated!!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

You'd better believe that after this is over, I'm calling my breast doc and making an appt and letting him keep me honest. The past two years have been crazy for my and my family and I have not taken care of myself.

I need to be better at it. I am not going to let it go so long.

Susan DO NOT CANCEL this appt!
I know you're nervous/scared but canceling would only delay an answer and keep you in this frantic state of mind for a longer period of time.
You NEED to get this done and have an answer so you know what your next step is.
Like you said, it's probably nothing and many prayers that you are right.
BUT if by chance it is something you need to know right away so you can start taking care of things.

Hang in there....it's almost done and over with and you will have your answer soon.

Re: Talk me off the ledge

I don't plan on canceling. I have to go to the doc that did my sono 2 years ago and get the films so I can bring them tomorrow. So I'll leave a little early and do that before I go home today. They are on Madison Ave in the city. PIA..but better to have everything.

i know I have the tendency to go all negative and it's hard but I'm working on it.

I do this a lot.

I prepare myself for the worst but deep down always hope for the best.
If it's a negative outcome than I was prepared all along and not getting hit with something out of left field.
If it's a positive outcome it makes it THAT much better.
