Fide Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Hopefully this doesn't come across as a load of self indulgent tosh. It's genuinely not meant to be, so I'll keep it brief rather than wallowing through all the details. A year ago tomorrow, I was diagnosed with cancer. About 4 weeks before that I knew something wasn't right. I toyed with the idea of not going to the doctors, because "it might be nothing" and I "didn't want to bother them". I've stuck those two statements in inverted commas because I know from experience that those are two of the main reasons for putting off going to the doctors. I eventually went because "it might be nothing" could also "be something". And I'm glad I did. In the space of 4 weeks, I had an ultrasound, CT scan, surgery, MRI scan and started chemotherapy. Several chemo sessions, about a million injections and a blood transfusion later, I'm now in remission (though I call it the all clear) and so many doctors have said that catching these things early is so important in fighting it. So, the point of all this shite is - if you suspect something is wrong, or if you think you should be checked over. DO IT. Don't wait until next week. Don't wait to see if whatever it is goes - it might not. It's scary as f**k when you suspect something is wrong, but ignoring it won't make it go away. Get it checked. I promise you'll feel better when you do. Right, that's me said my piece - let the verbal pounding commence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
