So I got a big scare the other day, I had went to the doctor for a regular physical, I had a breast exam, the normal for a physical. She felt of a lump. She reassured me that it felt normal but wanted me to go in for a mammography.
I got scared and worried, my Grandmother had breast cancer I believe twice and then later died with another cancer. So my mind was running with anxiety. It made me realize that I would take my ringing any day than to get bad news of cancer. My ringing is bad and some days I don't know if I can make it, but I keep pushing and try to focus on the positive because things in life could always be worse.
As I set waiting on the doctor to give me my results, I pray to God that please let everything be normal, I'm not ready to die, I know getting cancer doesn't mean you're dying, but it's super scary. The doctor came in and said everything looked normal and he didn't think I needed another one unless I feel anything different in 10 years! I thanked God! I cried and praised that it was okay!
I just wanted to share this story, because I know everyone's situation is different and everyone's tinnitus is different, but in my situation it could always be worse.
