winny popping pills is not the answer to lif'es worries. Facing up to them and coping, then ,moving on, is.

OP you simply need to take a few steps back and calm down.

I was being scanned every 3-4 months to check that my cyst ( and you have not even had a scan to show /not show anything there ) was not growing or was malignant. I had to live with that for months but did manage to put it out of my head MOST of the time, on the basis that I have a tip-top specialist and he thought it looked "okay"- but he wasn't taking any chances.

Please try to stop worrying and wait until you have a scan and then if thereis anything wrong you can worry!

I agree with you, peony, but they could help her while she's waiting for the CBT. IIRC she had some prescribed by the doctor and is too scared to try them.
