Anxiety-surgery next week

@oreochiu Hello. I completely agree with the ladies above. The technician is NOT qualified to give you results and so therefore shouldn’t. Your surgeon and oncologist are. And as @afraser said, the anxiety around this whole thing is now making you fear the worst, and nothing seems like something. Believe me, I know. I’m the queen of anxiety. While anxiety is good sometimes as it can alert you to possible danger, it can go into overdrive in already anxiety-inducing situations like this one. So the ‘danger’ is the technician telling you info they shouldn’t have, as they it’s not part of their job description. A very qualified surgeon and oncologist know much better. The anxiety is not just going to disappear however, so def get on top of controlling it while it’s still under control. As @arpie suggested, ask to see a psychologist. You can usually see one for free if you ask your GP or specialists. And have another honest discussion with your specialists on why you’re so worried. They’ve been through this many times, they understand. I had massive anxiety at the beginning too, and called my surgeon a few times to help me. I also started seeing a psychologist who helped me a lot. Not overnight, but she calmed me enough to help me think clearly and make better decisions. In the end I changed surgeons, got answers I needed, and my anxiety disappeared. So take these steps and you should def feel better soon. It’s hard, I know, but you’ll be fine. Trust in your medical team and yourself to do what’s right, and whenever you need help - seek it! Good luck darl 🍀♥️.
