doctors, specialist...who needs them? Mood
Friday, May 30, 2008 | A Positive story

Well, I have made a decision and that is to not have the throat biopsy. I need a break from all of this not just mentally but emotionally, physically and especially financially as well. Taking my general doctors advice and seeing the physical reaction from doctor number three upon my return to his office I have said enough is enough. I'll wait six months and have another MRI and if there are any changes will deal with them then.

 

Since I have joined this support group, vented some of my anger and frustration at a party involved and made this decision life has shifted and hopefully will continue to improve. Thanks Daily Strength for starting the process! Even with the relapse last week and the doctor saying the "C" word I feel much better and am able to cope with all of this and hopefully with what is waiting for me down the road. I have to admit, it doesn't take much to put me into overwhelming overload mode but at least the process is a bit slower.
