sweetie - maybe you could get a friend to meet up with you afterwards, if you decide you don't want her there?

i went through a really bad cancer scare last year, and i was too vulnerable to let someone come with me to my dr, but at least it was nice to have coffee with a friend afterwards. we didnt talk about the appt unless i wanted to, it was just meant to be something i could look forward to during the appt, and also something to distract me straight after (i used to get horrid flashbacks and i would sit and repeat them over and over if i was left by myself).

will keep my fingers crossed for you, darling. i am seeing my GP tomorrow and going to ask her about some of those questions too... i hope she says she doesnt need to look .
