Hi… nice to meet all you wonderful people.
I had a recent routine abdominal ultrasound and they have found a spot on my kidney they are concerned about. I’m told it’s small, but does not contain fluid so they don’t think it’s a cyst, and it may be something more.
I am booked for an urgent CT scan in a few weeks which is great and I’m so happy I had the abdominal ultrasound.
BUT…
How do you deal with the anxiety? Im on a downward spiral waiting. I am considering a private scan, but is it worth it?
The doctor has said that if it is anything other than a cyst it’s small and likely very treatable, but that in itself has me thinking they believe it’s cancer.
Im not sleeping, eating makes me sick and every ache around my back im now hyper aware of!
Anyway I don’t want to ramble! What are your tips for keeping the mind from spiraling too much?
