Hope all goes well. Do you feel anxious when waiting for such an appt, or no? Some of us do, some of us don't, so I'm just curious. I personally don't get terribly anxious waiting for any appt, but the anxiety rushes in as soon as I arrive at whatever office/facility.
I want the appointment, so the waiting bugs me. He also won't be able to tell me much. He will have to either run more tests or cut my scrotum open and remove the tumor at a surgery that will be booked weeks from now. I saw some pics and they take your testicle right out of you, cut out the tumor, and put it back in. Jealous?
LoL, no way! Best of luck either way, hope you get some answers/relief soon.
I get anxious as soon as I make the appointment until the end. It’s horrible.
I'm glad it's not that bad for me at least. I know that's common, but at least I can make it until the time of the appt.
Thanks. It feels good to make some progress on this. My HA is very bound up with another issue that I have, which is that I don't handle uncertainty well. I'm a "want to know right now" type of person. I don't understand HA sufferers who don't want to go to the doctor!
It’s like saying we don’t understand the ones that do wanna go.
It’s called anxiety. It’s a 2 way street. And both are as bad and tough.I go back and forth between I NEED TO KNOW NOW and "I don't want to know." I can't imagine what it's like to be a sane person who's not constantly at one extreme or the other!
I always have to know. It was the same when I was a kid and I was going to take a test I wasn't ready for. I wanted to know the damage immediately. I think it's about control (for me).
You‘re right, Fraser this will be a great chance to put your therapy to use. I’m sure you’ll agree that if he had any reasonable doubts, he would steer you towards getting the surgery and just risk the potential pain issues. Time to move on from this.
I’ve had stuff like this several times. Once had a neurologist tell me he didn’t think anything was wrong but we could do all the tests if I wanted to. I trusted his opinion and let it go. Several years later, I’m glad I saved the money and moved on. I’m glad you got good news! For that is what it is.
