Yesterday I posted about concerns I had regarding my heart and a pain I was getting in my chest. I am a teacher so I went to see the school nurse and she advised that I go and see my doctor. I got an appointment for last night (doctors work til 9pm here!) and I was with him for an hr and 15 minutes. He already knew my circumstances regarding the death of my husband, high BP, anxiety etc etc.
He did an echocardiogram and a stress test and hooked me up to numerous machines. He said for his own interest he wanted to do an ultrasound on my liver, lungs, pancreas, thyroid and kidneys.
I had told him about my cancer worries and he told me "you do not have cancer of the lungs, you do not have cancer of the thyroid, you do not have cancer of the kidneys, you do not have cancer of the liver, you do not have cancer of the pancreas. Your heart is 120%"
What he did tell me was that I need to lose weight (85kgs, 5ft 5) and that my posture is terrible, which is more than likely giving me the stabbing in my back and chest. He gave me an eating plan and told me I was a very beatuiful young lady, who has had a terrible thing happen and now I need to gain control of my life again. He is so right.
So off I went home, ready to take on the world!
UNTIL I went to bed. I had a dream the doctor surgery called me to say one of my blood levels was severely elevated (even though no bloods were taken yesterday) and it was 0.7 and should be less than 0.1! I sent a friend,who is a GP, a message who replied that those results would indicate cancer. My dreams are always so scary and vivid, a side effect apparently from the beta blockers I am on.
I just have to keep reminding myself they are only dreams.
