Not sure how worried I should be..................

I wonder what the response would be if you asked to be part of the discussion. This business of having people discuss your health without being there is nerve wracking. I think this stage of medical care is the hardest. All questions and no answers leave a person feeling lost. Finding a way to live life without dwelling on all the what ifs is a challenge. We used distraction and going out for meals for comfort as a way to pass the time. I think we had a goal of putting our worries aside until it became necessary to make decisions and at the same time be prepared for whatever the answers might be. I'll be thinking of you Anne and will keep my fingers, toes and eyes crossed for a good answer. OXOXOX Julie

Anne,

That is so awful when they share just enough information to make one anxious...like when, as a kid, one is told to report to the principal's office, or when, as an employee, one is told to report to the boss' office; as humans we always tend to think it's bad news....hopefully you are surprised in a good way. You're in my prayers and thoughts.

Anne,

I wish they would stop jerking you around like this. If you have to see your urologist to get the answers they could have at least scheduled for this week! :angry:

I know it is hard to wait. Hopefully the family is coming up with ways to distract you this weekend. Sending you big ((((Hugs))))
