And the disease will retreat
Now, when you read it, you are in one of the most difficult situations in which a person may turn out to be: the need for sufficiently unpleasant diagnostic procedures, the situation of uncertainty, the danger of developing a serious illness - all this creates additional psychological difficulties for you.
Your anxiety is largely based on the uncertainty you encountered. You do not understand everything, and you have no vital information. The reality is such that most of these difficulties will have to be overcome independently, despite the maximum assistance of doctors and warm support from your loved ones.
But in the fight against your misfortune you are not alone, and, moreover, you are not the first person who fell into a similar situation. Yes, it is extremely unpleasant and, undoubtedly, causes you the most painful feelings in you, but the worst thing you can do now is to take it "Position of Ostrich", who hides the head in the sand, thinking that thus got rid of all problems.
You choose: Pleasant ignorance or unpleasant knowledge. Just remember that pleasant ignorance will sooner or later end, and the unpleasant truth may be even unpleasant during this time.
Even worse, apathy and despair, as they will exhaust the forces that you will need for treatment. Active, energetic people are much better tolerated diseases, are less suspended, faster and easier recover.

Despair, fear paralyzed forces and worsen the body's activities. The more the person is afraid, the more hides from reality; The more he hides, the smaller he has the opportunity to understand the situation and find at least some kind of way out.

Do not blame her head over the question "Why this happened to me"? Answer to such questions has not yet been able to find anyone, but to feel a victim or a loser you will be fully.
In the current situation, it is better to concentrate on what you can do, rather than why it happened.
You can take an active position, try to actively participate in the diagnostic and medical process. You will have a sense of complete control over the situation, the feeling of anxiety will decrease and the conviction will appear in that none of the necessary treatment components will be missed. No one will never react to your business more carefully than you yourself.

You do not bother with obviously meaningless attempts to independently solve issues - because you obviously will not be enough knowledge or forces. You are so in a difficult situation, and it is not worth exacerbating it, trying to solve problems that are in the competence of specialists. Special issues should solve specialists, and it is better not to interfere with them, rushing under the legs.
Best try to find a reasonable compromise between "Active" and "Passive" positions, taking on the fact that you can actually decide, leaving the doctor to do what he will do better.
