Oh thank you so much ladies. I mean it! I can't even explain to you how much your comforting words mean to me. I was already full of anxiety before this happened and now it just seems this was the last drop the glass could hold.
I want to build my relationship with Jesus. I have been saying that for years. I have been to many different churches and I have never found the "right" one. I don't know where to start.

I hope your worst fears turn out to be nothing more than that. In August of last year my wife began feeling pain in the lower abdominal area. She had cysts removed when she had our son in 1984 (C-section). She went to get a pap smear and the doc gave her a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) med to take for the pain. It requires an Rx. Her family has a history of cervical and breast cancer. The NSAID caused an allergic reaction and she came down with a 103 fever and itching and very uncomfortable.
Incidentally, she has a high tolerance for physical pain meaning there usually aren't a lot of things that cause her to moan or show that she's in a lot of pain. She was in labor with our son for 20 hours and grabbed my hand a number of times when the pain was bad, but that was about it.
Later that night, early the next morning actually, she was in so much pain that she woke me up and asked me to call an ambulance. I knew she was in a lot of pain when she asked me to do that. I just knew, and she told me the same thing later, that she had cancer and that that was what we would find out at the ER. After taking blood tests and a CAT scan they told us they could not find anything wrong with her. We were in shock and disbelief.
My guess is that it was the NSAID causing the problem, a cyst which burst, or she passed a stone. But there is no cancer. She also bled a lot at different times with her period.
Just wanted you to know that it was hard not to catastrophize and think the worst. I don't want to give you false hope, but I do hope your situation turns out the same as my wife's. I just knew it was going to be cancer.

I should have got the results back from my PAP smear today but I did not. The doctor told the secratry there is no urgency in it. She said well if she wants to come in for her results so can. I said to the secratary something must be wrong then and she said no she did not ask to see you she said if you want the results come in. I don't know what to make of it. She is not my regular GP. My GP does not do PAPs so I went to her just to have that done. I am going to see my regular GP tomorrow night and he is going to give me the results.
phil 3 this one thing I do forgetting what lies behind, I press On to what Christ has laid hold of for me.

Hi Christine,
I can tell you honestly from experience that is a really really good sign. I have started with a new doctor and unlike my old doctor he retired and broke my heart. This new one never gives you any info over the phone and if there is anything wrong he tells the nurse to call me and tell me he wants to see me asap. But when I have called to enquire and there has been nothing he just say's the same thing no urgency but if you want to know just make an appointment. Maybe it's the way these new younger doc's handle things I think it might be considering I have had the same experience. Where my wonderful dear sweet old doc would just call me to say everything is fine. I hope that helps a bit sweetie. I would be very confident if I were you about the pap results.
I am praying for you always and glad you are keeping us posted b/c you are in my thoughts all the time.
Love you
Mimi

Yes Christine prayers continue to go out. I'm sure you'll get the results soon. I've been very frustrated with doctors too lately. I think it is the new way. Here at our clinic the doctors don't even have the say, it's the Theda Care Program that says how many patients they can see etc. Some are not even giving prescrip. refills over the phone but making you come in...money game.
Talk to Jesus about what church. Tell him what you said. You want a closer relationship with you. He'll honor that and direct you to the right church. I want a feedback after Sun. what church you went to and how it was OK. We'll all be waiting for your report and I bet it will be good. There's a scripture, I'm not sure where it says this, "Whose report will you believe?" We shall believe the report of the Lord." The Lord's will for you and all of us is to be healed. "By His stripes we ARE healed." God bless you my dear.

Gosh, yet more waiting for you, Christine, but that's okay...that's okay! You are getting alot of practice at the "waiting game," something which is so hard for ANYONE (anxiety-ridden or not), and you are getting REALLY GOOD at it. "They who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings, as eagles..." I cannot help but believe, that if something untoward had turned-up on your test, the doctor would be on the phone pronto, asking to see you ASAP, or telling you immediately. It seems as if there is absolutely no urgency involved, so put your mind at rest. Be at peace tonight. Rest in the Lord. Hand him the burden of your fear and anxiety; He can handle it! ALL WILL BE WELL. We are here.
