Day 4

I finally got around to making my follow up appointment and saw my GP today. She paged the hospital on call Gynaecologist and spoke to him to see if I really needed to have further investigations. This was good of her and saved me a wait for an initial appointment at the hospital. After listening to a brief summary of the history and findings so far, he said yes I will need a biopsy of the lining of the uterus. I've been fast-tracked me for that. ('On a 2 week wait', which is what they do if they think that you might have cancer.) In other words, I've been shunted to somewhere up towards the head of the queue, which is good to know.

Due to some unfortunate experiences in hospitals 25 years ago, I have dreadful anxiety problems relating to drs etc and just walking into a hospital can make me vomit with fear. But I have to remind myself that the hospitals round here are good and that the way patients are treated is much more humane than back then.

I would really appreciate it if you could pray for me. For God's Will to be done, but also that God's Will isn't that I have to have endometrial cancer :-) Please pray for calmness for me and Jamie and that our minds will not race ahead too far of the situation.

Not looking forward to my long day in the car tomorrow. Fortunately, some friends are picking Jack up in the morning to take him skating with some other HE'd kids. He'll love that.

LOL! The spell checker at blogspot doesn't like the word 'endometrial'. It suggests 'industrial' instead.
