I know my mentality is, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." That's not always good, but I guess life gets in the way. I'm sorry you are dealing with this & hope that everything turns out fine! Take care!
Oh my goodness! I hope it's benign. It it sad that all we need to prevent many ailments is to just treat your body right. I am really bad about this and I am waiting for my time when it will catch up with me. My boyfriend always says "an ounce of prevention is better than finding a cure".... thank you for reminding me to take care of myself.
I hope we hear a positive update on this issue soon.
And as for why we wait? A lot of people think "It happens to other people" or "It's such a crapshot anyway" or "Who cares?" or a bunch of other things. This applies to anything really. We're either deep down optimists or naive as anything.
A friend of mine had his apartment broken into last week. He had no renter's insurance. Not for financial reasons but because he didn't think it was necessary. The robber stole a lot of expensive things. This is just another example of people not really thinking it out
I hope that everything goes well and you are in my prayers!
I wonder this same thing about my weight. We hear all of the time about these huge ephifinies (sp?) that people have and how they turned their life around and I always wonder when this will happen for me. I am not extremely overweight but I am concerned for my general health and what this will do to me down the line if I don't get it taken care of now. I know that I just need to decided that I am going to put myself first and just start exercising and eating better. It is easy to just ignore the problem until something big happens to force a change.
