Nikki,
I've discussed my activity with PB many times with my doc and he is very supportive of any forum that can help me deal with my problems. The only thing he has said about it is that I discuss any changes to my routine with him first so we can make the decisions together. I feel this is a reasonable and intelligent request. A good doc won't feel threatened by your need to talk to others who share your life experiences.
I hope and pray that everything goes well with the tests on Tuesday (today?). I have been an active volunteer with Cancer patients in the past, many of whom have survived it. Please remember that it is not necessarily a death sentence. Put your faith in God (or whatever you believe to be your higher power), and know that all of us will be praying for you. Man, I sound like a preacher, and believe me, I'm no choir boy!
My thoughts are with you, Nikki. Please keep us up to date on what's going on.
Hugs,
Greg> Just wondering how mnay of you have discussed Psycho Babble with you pdocs? I really want to, and really want to say what I read here etc, but I'm worried he'll feel undermined... Like I don't trust him and stuff.. I don't like th eidea of making him feel that way.

> it's a week till I see him, but who thinks I should say "hey, the guys on this web site I go on suggest....". Well, hopefully I'm seeing him next week.. thats only if I get the time off work... I have to go into hospital on Tuesday for a needle biopsy after my PAP smear has shown up early sign of cancer... Ho hum, what an exciting little life I lead!
