Oh Marlyn I love your description of Dr. Google. Sick and evil. I must keep that in mind!!!
Tips on how I stop myself????
My only advice is step away from google, it will make you go cross eyed. When I was first diagnosed I avidly sat there steadily with eyes like saucers until in the end my hubby came along and shut my laptop lid! It was the best thing he did....this forum is much better....stick with us girlie...you won't go far wrong xx
Yup I have googled and googled and googled. I tell myself it doesn’t help (and it definitely doesn’t!) but it’s become an addiction. I have read about everything there is to read so not googling as much but yes, it pretty much gave me the worse case scenario and made me consider things I hadn’t even thought of!!!!
Think I’ll stick to this site xxxx
You know it makes sense......cxx
Hope the op went well Marlyn. How are you feeling now?
Hi, feel pretty good thanks, obviously sore but much better today...just more waiting for results, you know what it's like! How goes it with you? Xxx
All good with me Marlyn. Had a terrific Xmas and New Year with family. Always one of my favourite times of the year.
I consider myself cured now but I know as my mammogram approaches in March I will feel apprehensive. Still thats a bit away yet so will deal with it at the time.
Have decided it's a New Year so new me. Hubby and I have joined a gym in a bid to keep fit and healthy. At 70 (me) and 73 that's a tall order but we're feeling motivated so are going with it. It remains to be seen how long it'll last.....lol x
That's so good to hear, onwards and upwards....and it's lovely you still dip in and out of this forum, your support is priceless.....xxxx
Glad to hear your doing ok. Don’t over do it though!
The waiting is the worse part! Does drive you mad as everything goes through your mind.
Chelbel definitely stay off google and thing you want to know ask it on here. You get a better answer because people who answer have been through it so know first hand what you are going through. They helped me so much and that’s why I have stayed on here even though mine was benign in the end x
