The waiting is the hardest part

So I am still waiting to see a urologist.  It’s my own fault.

Medcan offered an appointment with one of their urologists but I wanted Dr. Singal.  He reviewed my men’s health chart and is a recognized leader in the field.  Plus he tweets.

However I greatly over-estimated my resilience and patience.  Part of that is my fault too.  I started reading forums and articles on the internet.  Shit I even bought a book on programming “R” so I could run my own stats on datasets that accompany medical research.  I am strong believer in informing yourself.  Or at least I was.  I only ended up in scaring myself stupid and now I think I am a firm believer in stick your head in the sand and cry.

I know I have made my coworkers lives difficult, I have been truly miserable to be around but I am going through some pretty stressful shit at the moment.  So in a moment of panic, I shit you not – a panic attack, I called the nurse and pressed her into booking an appointment at Sunnybrook since they have a rapid biopsy lab.  Dr. Singal would take another two weeks to do a biopsy and then 10 days to get the results.  I don’t think I can last that long.

    Hi Dave. My husband is going through what you have gone through. His byopsy is going to be tomorrow with Dr. Singal. He is ok with it…I am terrified! He already had an MRI where they did not find any cancer in the USA and a test at the University of Michigan with mix results. Thank you for your site and all your information.

    Hi Tania, Your husband is in good hands with Dr. Singal. If the MRI showed nothing that is a good sign. I wish you both all the very best. It is a stressful situation to be in, but it sounds like your husband is much more stoic than I was. Dave.
