annual mamogram and ct ( year 3 )

when I cancelled the surgery who ever it was I spoke to arranged for another appointment for me to talk to the surgeon /neurologist. that is 8th March.  I hope there is post op /home support , theres just me n daughter other wise.  ive heard horror stories etc ( which is probably why the neurologist didnt want me on the facebook chiairi support group. )  I dont know how I cope either , this is just some of the crap thats gone on . 

Hi @tisme, understand the scan anxiety. Just had my second mammogram and ultrasound. The first year I was absolutely a mess but this year while anxious I was not as bad as yr one. I hope each year gets easier. 

You really have alot on your plate. I don't know how you deal with it all. That surgery you mentioned sounds a bit scary so no wonder you freaked out. Can you talk to the Surgeon about your feelings?  It must be hard for you if you need that surgery. Does the hospital offer support you can access?  

Shame about the government unit. Hopefully you will be offered another one soon. 

Sending hugs 💐

i feel sorry for my autistic daughter she senses that something is wrong  and wont leave me alone i was supposed to have surgery for Chiari 1 ( posterior fossa decompression )  but i freaked at the idea and cancelled it , got  offered a govt unit but couldnt fit my electric bed in the bedroom etc  wont bore with the rest , thanks for the support 

Sadly, that is a totally normal feeling. xx. I feel every bit of anxiety with you, @tisme ... I had similar for my 4 yearly at the end of last year & waiting for a date for my 'recall' on the other boob - should be done this month!  I will need to ring them again, I fear, to send the request for another Us!!

Good to know that the radiographer was really thorough tho ..... so that is a bonus.  It's a bugger isn't it - it just brings up all sorts of emotions - and throws you into a loop.

All the best for your results & I hope you are going well right now xx

@tisme
Anxiety at annual tests is more normal than not. Your mind goes back to everything that’s happened and it’s not pleasant. I assume you have no results yet and the waiting is very difficult. But worrying about things that haven’t happened doesn’t help. Hard as it is, try and think positive. Best wishes.
