So… my mammogram is coming up in less than a week. Terrifying, as usual. Just the unknown – will they find something? Will I need biopsy? Will this be a direct hit this time? I can’t self-sooth with “low chance of anything bad” because I am now “high-risk”. Also, weird aches and pains aren’t helping to calm the anxiety.

Dad has an aggressive form of prostate cancer, but they didn’t find any metastases in bones. Not sure what the next step there would be… He needs to evaluate risks and benefits of surgery.
