    you kinda mentioned above about the scope and taking meds above...Just wondering if you freak out when it comes to taking medicine??? and having stuff done to your body??.. IV's and what they are putting into your body?? If so I thought I was the only one!!! I freak out over everything!! I'm terrified of the side effects to the point that I have panic attacks... I know it's all in my head but I can't help it!!

    I am sooo glad you are getting away for awhile... It will do your soul some good!!! When do you leave??? I'm stuck here I need so bad to get away to forget for about what I just went through to get to this side of being a Survivor!!!

    Yeap! I freak out very bad
    Yeap! I freak out very bad and have panic attacks. But the needles are the worst. I am looking into trying EMDR which desentizes me or maybe a hyptomist. I've got to do something to lessen the fear. The first time with chemo even after the calm me down medicines I cried the entire time.
    Wish you could go on vacation. Maybe later. I go on vacation Sept 4th-13th.
    Hugs back at you!
