Breathe, I need to breathe....

My mind has been going crazy. Doctor wants to see me 8/30. His office called today and said he wants to see me and he was sorry that it can't wait for the scheduled time.
But they didn't tell me anything else. Said it would be better for me to talk face to face with the doctor.

Scared, very scared. I need a hug 😭.....

Sorry you're dealing w/so much stress. It's going to be okay

My best advice is to put on some beloved music, and maybe open a photo album and reminisce.

DU is pulling for ya

This is outrageous, making you wait until the end of the month. Ask your doctor "What advice would you give your wife, if HER doctor did this to her?" He would DEMAND answers immediately. Please demand an answer ASAP. Try to stay calm, and let us know as soon as you can. My heart goes out to you in this situation. My imagination would be working overtime, as I am sure yours is. We are all pulling for you, lots of hugs being sent your way.

Many doctor's offices do not allow passing along any diagnostic info over the phone.

Hugs to you from KY........

can you call the office back and tell them you can't wait that long?

do you have a way to communicate with your doctor? at my provider there's an app called MyChart. My doctor is very responsive.

I'm sorry you have to go through this. But - if it was something like a cancer that was threatening your life imminently, they would have you in the office already. so consider that. please keep us posted.

If the situation was so urgent that he has to see you face to face and can't wait for the scheduled time, he fuc'ing should have opended up a slot for TODAY to see you instead of 2 Fuc'ing weeks from today! This is just cruel,

Call them back and demand to see him today or tomorrow!

To talk about results before. Nothing terminal.
Dr may want further testing for example blood in urine
Maybe infection or kidney stones.
Just depends.
Fingers crossed!
