Panic Attacks

Hi Anne, totally normal..  You have spent time working towards being past it and your appointment shoves it right back in your face again.. and every single bad possibility will fall out of the back of your mind and start yelling at you..

When I was finished treatment for my EBC I was really good until it was "squishy boob day" so I started to make jokes about it.. But the anxiety that I felt after it and waiting to see the surgeon almost did my head in..  It will get easier with time..  To try to calm it down I use rescue remedy and also do some meditation..  If you are having any ultrasounds done(sorry, not sure it they will be doing that (i had a lumpy and they still squish me each year) , try to get them as close to the day of the dr visit as possible to reduce the waiting time.  and I also continually say to myself that it is what it is, no amount of worry will change what my dr is going to tell me..

Be kind to yourself and allow the thoughts in, acknowledge them and then make them leave and not sleep over..  It does take some work but it will get better..  Now all of this said..  If you are really struggling speak to your doctor about the amount of anxiety you are dealing with and they may also have a plan to assist you to get through it easier.

I have everything crossed for you that in a few days you will be able to pop back in and just say.. whoo hooo..  all clear..  how cool is that
