I always get very worked up waiting for the results of routine 3-yearly mammograms and nowadays also the 2-yearly bowel-screening checks. I've realised that in 2013 I will be due for both, and possibly at round about the same time.
Even when I'm not in a depressed or anxious state I get panic-stricken waiting for the results, I don't know what on earth I'm going to be like this time. It's likely to be about 6 months before it happens, but already I'm worrying about them - however will I cope? But I couldn't possibly not do them as I would worry for ever that something would have been missed by not having them.
Just wondered how other people coped with things like this :unsure:
