Welcome @gossy29 - and what a lovely part of the world you live in. No doubt some of the male members will be in touch with you.
Congratulations for going along to the doctor as so many men have that head in the sand attitude. Your partner and children must be proud of you.
Goodness, you have a full life and I am guessing much of your study is computer-based ? I wonder what course you are doing ?
My hubby is not afraid to go to the doctor although he never used to go. Once we married and he discovered I have the 2 year blood tests etc, as us women do, he decided to go with me for his tests (not that a particular one delighted him !). I am proud of him for being proactive.
