Hi all,

Been a while since I last posted. I still deal with anxiety every day but I can manage to keep it under control... Until today. I've had a bump on my achilles for a number of months now and gone through all the steps that led me to get an ultrasound of the area. Well today I went in for the results and the doctors says its most likely achilles tendonitis, but he wants an MRI done to rule out the possibility of cancer :scared15: I hate that word. Now of course I am panicking. And I didn't even think to talk to him about something else thats been bothering me once he said that.. I've also had tailbone pain for a few weeks and just been dealing with it.. Well after I left the office and my brain starts spinning, I am now feeling like maybe it is cancer and thats also whats wrong with my tailbone as well.. So now I'm not sure if I should go back and ask to have my tailbone scanned at the same time or just deal with one issue at a time.. What do you all think?
