@flow65 Oh, I can’t even imagine how difficult this is for you and your husband. You may have a lot of anxiety, but your courage shows through every time to walk in the doctor’s office. YOU are a strong woman. I know that you’re very worried about all the tests and what they may say, but they need to be done. You might think of asking the doctor for something to calm yourself before you go for a procedure. I take a very low dose of Valium before MRI’s because they freaked me out. Just a small dose makes it so i can tolerate them.
And you commented that your doctors don’t seem to have much compassion. A lot of them don’t for sure. Medicine has become very high tech, what with computers and all, and some doctors have lost the fact of the importance of the doctor-patient relationship. And insurance…….
(((I forgot that you take Xanax! Maybe something like Valium isn’t a good idea. Talk to your psychiatrist)))
For now, just keep moving forward, one step at a time. I have faith in you.
