The beginning process of diagnosing endometrial cancer

Hi Helen,
Hope all is well with you.
I go for the biopsy tomorrow.
I get very panicked at times.
I realize once the path report comes back I can never not hear what I think will be bad news ever again. I also feel and get traumatized by procedures done to certain parts of my body. Now it's the night before and I know what to do to get my mind off it. Only now I'm sitting here frozen in fear. Thank you for letting me share this, I appreciate you. Thank God for the women on this forum. Trish

@tishie58 I was concentrating on you and the procedure today at 12:15 EST. I didn’t think to ask your time zone so I hope that my healing energy that I sent you was received.
Did your doctor share any information with you today? How are you feeling this evening?

Hello, Trish, The fear is there and I’m thinking perhaps the panic comes and goes? That’s how it works for me. And yes, once you see the path report and/or talk with the doctor you cannot « unhear » the news again. That’s good way of characterizing it all.
It’s difficult to trust a medical provider that you don’t know with touching your body much less doing a procedure. Do you ever tell the provider or perhaps the nurse who is getting you ready that you feel this way? I wish that more medical providers understood what trauma-informed care means.
You wrote that you know what to do for yourself. Does this include going for a walk? I know for myself that if I’m feeling really anxious and fearful I need to move. When I move and it could be walking up and down stairs in my house or going outside for a walk that the anxiety will lessen.
What time is your appointment tomorrow? I’d like to send healing energy to you and for you to feel that I and the other women here on this site are there for you.
