My story
Why We Go To The Doctor Every Year
I am a forty-five year old mother of two awesome kids. Before having my kids I was diagnosed with Von Willebrands disease (a bleeding disorder) and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. The second was more than likely the reason I had issues with infertility, but upon almost giving up, a dear friend suggested one more doctor. Thank heavens for that friend's suggestion and for the blessing of my O.B.G.Y.N. who specializes in infertility. If not for the excellent care of Dr. Safarik, I wouldn't be blessed with my children.
When choosing a Doctor....... Choose one that has your back.... Make sure he/she is there for YOU and that patient care IS something he/she does well.....
Keeping up with my issues and my care.... 11 years later and I now am a single mom. I recently went for my annual visits and thankfully my mammogram was good. A phone call from my doctor had me concerned about my pap result because I then needed a biopsy. Then I had to wait for the results. The waiting was the hardest part.....
I had already resolved that I wouldn't worry until there was something to worry about. My doctor agreed with me and said that was a good place to start and that if there is something we will then take care of it. That helped me get through the week, but the waiting is still very difficult. Keeping busy is very important.
Thursday evening (May 9th 2013) I got a call from my from my doctor:
I have Endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) level 1 and 2.
When you hear that kind of news it stops you from thinking anything petty at all. Suddenly every moment you spend with those you care about is a good one. Even if your kids are melting down, its a good melt down. :) Cancer is Cancer.... even if we take care of it...
CANCER is SCARY
