I had a right breast mastectomy April 2024. I see my Gynecologist every 2 yrs as insurance allows. Hpv test this yr 2025 was negative. I also have thyroid nodules that I've had biopsies & ultrasounds regularly. Had a full knee replacement this yr too. I'm 71 lost hearing in my left ear after vertigo attack, possible nerve damage or tia, dr wasn't sure back in 2010. Now losing hearing in my right ear & have an appt with RWJ in New Brunswick, NJ end of July to see if a candidate for Cochlear Implant. Hearing aid works ok for now, but if I go def in this ear Cochlear may not ever work, I also have constant tinnitus. I have such anxiety & I'm so overwhelmed. I look for answers all the time on the Mayo Clinic site.
Thank you Miriam,
Linda

Glad to hear from you. It sounds like a lot is going on medically. I'm glad the HPV test was negative. There is a hearing loss discussion here on Connect that might be useful to you. As an anxious person myself, I was wondering if you are doing anything that helps. For me, I can reduce it partially by walking, gardening, and sometimes by reading or a movie. It helps also to not focus on the medical--but that can feel impossible. What are you able to do that feels pleasant?
