One thing I didn’t mention in the call but is something that relates to our topic, is a biopsy I have scheduled for the day after Christmas. When my Dr. first called me, I wanted to know everything. She suggested not to go on the internet, but I know myself well enough and have the awareness now to know what I need in order to move through this experience and the next couple months of unknowns. For me, knowing the possibility of every possible outcome has helped me to lay it down until December 26 and leave it in the hands of my higher power. I think it’s different for all of us and we all choose to handle life situations in different ways, and I am grateful for the awareness to know what will help me let go of the fear and worry and still be able to live my life to the fullest and enjoy the next two months without worrying about something out of my control. My husband is exactly the opposite. He wants to know nothing of what could happen until after the test results come back. That is what helps him to let go of the worry. I am learning to own my individuality in this regard and listen to myself and what I need. When I was younger, my mom would always shelter me from everything saying that I couldn’t handle it and was too fragile to know the information, but as I’ve grown older and am more in tune with the self that I lost, I know it is just the opposite and she was projecting qualities of herself onto me. I’m much more unsettled with unknown that the known, so the more info I have, the more at peace I am.
