    Im sitting here crying i have my phone appointment  in 2 hours  which will decide when i go in for colonoscopy.  I cant breathe feel sick and need the toilet. 
    I know  whoever calls me will be kind but as i look at my 23 month old. With my 44th birthday in A week  and a who/ed gig tomorrow  .  Im scared . Im scared to death.  Years  ive had feelings of wanting it all to end. 
    All i really want is peace.  No more hollow heart.  No more stomach wrenching .
    No more  fear. 
    I cant have that. A dutch friend said now i must put control in someone elses hands. 
    Ive never done that
    I had one of those last year. It's nothing scary if that helps in any way.

    I thought I had bowel cancer, lucky it was nothing. Was slightly anxious.

    This had already cost a few  gigs and flights  and hotels. I dont care about money. Just that  the  beating i give myself is relentless  and others are saying  come on it will be fine.  You can do it.  Its ONLY nerves. 
    WRONG. I will never book a gig in advance again. On the  day if i can i will go. But i wont plan anything  anymore. If i survive this cancer scare that is.
    i keep telling myself I won't buy tickets in advance anymore either. so much stress leading up to the show. I skipped only a rare couple over the years, but it still sucked the life out of me leading up to the show. But now that I'm on the upswing, I can buy tickets in advance again. you'll get there. I know you don't think so, but you will.

    lastexitlondon, congrats on getting front row at a show and holding Ed's hand!
    Try not to get discouraged, hang in there until they can figure out what's going on.
    Focus on your 23 month old, he/she needs you more than you know.
    Keep us posted.

    Glad you had a great time.  Yes, anxiety is hard work and at the height of anxiety, it can also be physically tiring.  One day at a time...

    ashamed of what? seriously. If you are in fact an alcoholic, you simply did what an alcoholic does. theres no shame in that.

    now, if the above is true or not, what from this experience can you learn and  use going forward  to benefit yourself and others?

    I had some positive  news. Dr. Re examined  me and said he now thinks what he feels is a tendon  as now after a very ....well... deep inspection found both sides the same. So is sure tendons. And it does not explain my symptoms but it does eliminate one risk. That what he referred  me for was not what he thought  after further  examinations.
    I will still have the procedure because symptoms  need  explaining but its a big lift
