One more day...

Feelings of fear, anxiety and misery in which I find myself thinking more and more about the procedure and less about the results

I know we aren't exactly close, but I wanted to share a few words of support, with a touch of free advice (which could be invaluable or may end up being worth exactly what you paid for it

thank you.

It seems that that is good advise. I want to block it out of my mind till i have to go in, however its hard top stop thinking about it. The unknown is the worst i think, I am also very scared that it will make me different somehow. I now that sounds stupid as i type it, but really... there are fears that ppl won't think of me the same if i do have Cancer, that scares me. The pain during and after scares me. The thought of being a loan scares me.

Thank you,
Hobbit

You don't have to do this alone. Even if your friends don't get it or understand, you will find people who do. There are plenty of people who have lived through the same things you are. There are support groups and online discussion groups that are all about bring you together with people who can relate (as well as those that can tell you important information like what makes a good doctor in this field and what makes a crappy one

Thank you, you have at least given me something to think more about.
