I am so glad your family will be with you. I had two friends go with me to all the scarry appts. My son, and my best friend Nan. They continue to do this for me. It is so important to have that support around you when the world gets turned upside down. Yes this is a priority now, I had to take things one step at a time regarding my health problems too. I will be with you in spirit. It is so difficult sometimes when things come at you one after the other. I will be here to listen any time you have a need. I had a biopsy earlier this year and it didn't hurt. I was scared however, and had anxiety. Please treat yourself with tender loving care while you go through your doctors visits and proceedures. We will all be here for you, lots of people care about you. ginnie
