thank you @astaingegerdm Also I have a colonoscopy scheduled for this Friday (I’m still part of the sutter system) to evaluate the blood and pelvic/lower back pain. I also have a an appt with a gyno specialist at Stanford next week to evaluate a non specific anomaliy found on the ct scan. Sorry I forgot to put that in my first post. It’s too much for me to handle mentally! I had such over the top anxiety this morning when I found blood again I had to take 2 .25 of Xanax.

Anxiety is just the worst!!! In 2002, I lost my dad. In 2004, I had breast cancer. In 2007, I thought I had uterine cancer, and I just couldn't handle it. I had a small breakdown, suicidal thoughts, and ended up in the psych ward for 5 days. All they did for me was start me on a new medication; it made all the difference and was like a miracle drug for me. Last September (2019), I had breast cancer again, with a double mastectomy. I handled it like a breeze. My family was shocked, knowing my anxiety and depression history. However, this past week, everything seems to have caught up with me. Every little ache and pain worries me, I'm shaky around meal times. No diabetes, but hypoglycemic. Dry heaves. Depression has set in a little about my missing breasts. I'm missing my family terribly. Having to use my Xanax again. My point is that anxiety over health problems is so normal and common. You're not alone. You get through each problem one step at a time, and deal with it as it comes. Good luck to you!.
