When I was first diagnosed, I was mortified. I know I was making myself sick, and that was unfortunate for everyone. I began handling things better when I started telling my husband what my real fears were; no longer trying to be the big brave person I wanted to be.
When I quit pretending I was a super woman who could take anything and, if necessary, die with dignity and grace, the healing actually began and I was able to find moments of peace.
We can't hold these fears and anxieties in; it is enough to kill a person without cancer!
Anyway, you have not been diagnosed with cancer!! What's up?
My chemo was finished in Oct. In Nov, on ultrasound and ct, a spot was found on my liver.....everyone flew into a panic; I was scared all over again....my CA125 was 5.....after the dust setteled, further testing, etc., etc.; it was determined the spot on the liver was a simple fatty deposit. At the time, I didn't understand why everyone automatically figured it was a malignancy; it just didn't fit with the CA125 as low as it was; and, after the scare, even my oncologist said the same thing; it just didn't fit.
Hopefully that is what you will find. Try not to borrow trouble when you have a choice; and, until you are told differently, you have that choice.
P.S. I think you are very wise to hope for the best while preparing for the worst; it is good you have a gyn/onc doing your surgery.
Peace be with you. dian
