My Gyno Visit

Cindy54

Hello Ladies, have another adventure to share. Monday I went to see the gynecologist. I had not been to one in nearly 10 years. I know, I know. But being a caregiver for Mom. Then my own spinal cord surgery and it's aftermath. Then losing Mom, and all the other things left me no time to do anything. Not being in a relationship, I didn't really think about it. Well on Monday off I went. Very nice doctor. He did the usual routine things. Next week I have to go in for a sonogram. He said there was something that didn't look quite right to him, and he didn't think it was cancer, but he wanted to be absolutely sure about things.Since almost everyone in my family has passed from one form or another of cancer, my Mom's being ovarian, I ahve been trying hard not to think about this.Driving home, all I could think about was..it's enough.. a week ago I went to WalMart to get my eyes examined for glasses to go back to work. The doctor said she found a cyst underneath my eyball that was not there two years ago. So it's off to see another doctor in two weeks. I know that all things happen for a reason, but honestly, I am running out of patience here. I have the most patience of anyone I know. But I just want to get on with living. I would like one week free from having to worry about anything. Whatever it is I am supposed to be learning from all this and how I am to use this , is something I just can't quite understand. For now, I am just trying to surround myself with peaceful things. I am hoping this chases the bad karma away. Can't think of what else to call it. Thank you ladies for listening, I learn much from you. Hugs to all, Cindy

Cindy - you are not alone in your feelings of wanting just one week without worrying about health issues or seeing a doctor. I'm reaching that point also. I have enough of surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, therapists, etc. But like you, I need to see my gynocologist, and I need to see my dentist and optometrist. Believe it or not, you've given the courage to go ahead and make these appointments and get this over with while I'm finishing up my radiation. I sick of being sick so I figure that as long as I'm already sick of being sick, I should get all of this over and done with. Then maybe with new glasses, a normal pap smear, a little dental work and my arimidex, I will be like a new women. Wish me luck. And, I wish you the same. Hugs, Marilynn

Yikes, Cindy. Let's just say it. It is UNFAIR that you have to go through so much. Count me in as a partner in helping to chase away that bad karma (though I certainly don't think you bought this on yourself). Get out of here, boogie man, and leave Cindy alone! Or, as my son would say (loosely) Hey, Bad News, I checked the invitation list and your name is not on it.
I hope only good news for you, from here on. love, Joyce

I think all of us have been going through the same Cindy. If it's not one thing it's the other, but, I have to say that I am thankful we are all here to moan about it. Hoping the bad karma shoos away. Stay strong. Hugs, Lili.
