It's wonderful that you're getting your scopes...we all need to start at the age of 50. Definitely don't put it off, if anything is going on this catches it before it gets serious....and if you get the "all clear" then it's one last thing to worry about!  Keep yourself busy physically and mentally while waiting for the test.  Get out and go for walks, exercise is great for anxiety.  Do things to keep your mind busy...crossword puzzles, reading, anything you can.  This will help the time to pass more quickly.  You can do this, you're bigger and stronger than the anxiety....don't let it take away your power.  I know this is easier said than done, but do your best..okay?  Keep us posted and we're always here for you!
