((((((((((Deneb)))))))))
People who know you care about you. Medical office staff probably don't care about individuals unless they get to know them. In fact, if they DID get really involved with each person, they'd probably go bonkers! Think how stressful it'd be!
Anyway Deneb, I had a lump many years ago. My Mom & 3 of her sisters died of breast cancer, so I was pretty freaked!! I had to wait weeks to finally know. They did an ultrasound & that was as far as it went.
I DO know what it is to worry about cancer. Believe me, if I have a sore finger, I think I have cancer in my finger!!
I'm sorry you're going through this. Take one minute at a time if you need to & know that people care about you.
love, Kath
> I completely understand that you're scared, and that's okay. It's fine to be scared, but don't let fear and negativity consume you. Freaking out about it isn't going to make the doctors work any quicker, and it won't make things better.
