Too much information
Well, I scared myself tonight. I started reading up on cancer because I really didn't know what it was, and next thing I know I've decided I have colon cancer, and since it's the blood kind, it must be coursing though my veins all over my body! I called my sister who reminded me to take an anti-anxiety pill right now! I forgot that I even had them. So I did, and we talked about her results of her doctor appointment today. Shestill does not know for sure what her mass is, but she did just have a form of hepatitus from being in Africa. She was doing missionary work there with her husband, and got very ill. So it's possible it's a scar, or it could be something else. I guess everybody thinks they have a unique position when they find out they have cancer, but I think I've made several mistakes over the past few years. Maybe someone else can learn from them. #1. Having an Endro-ablation surgery. It complicated things and confused me andthe doctors blamed any symptoms that may have been caught earlier on the endro-ablation.#2. Blaming the Fibromyalgia for everything. I got so tired of going to the doctor for pain and strange symptoms that I finally just said, "It's a bad day, just live with it. It's only the Fibro."#3. Never having my low back pain really checked out so that I had a solid answer as to what was wrong with it. Instead I went to chiropractor and took pain pills. Now I wonder... Now I am not condemning myself, but I am trying to help someone else because I know that I can't undo the past. But you can bet that I will do my best with the future!And I will remember that I don't have to be so anxious. I can get relief and it's ok when I feel like this.Thanks everybody!I pray for all my sisters with Uterine Cancer and other female problems every day!
