    Easier said than done I know @Vince , but as @Verdun said worrying won't alter anything Monday will still come, along with your appointment. It could be just a case of needing a thorough look around , hubs has them as a regular part of his check ups.
    Keeping you in my thoughts and wishing you well .x

        I'm sorry to hear about your stress. At least it is not an intrusive procedure Your taxes have long paid for this equipment so if nothing else, at least you're getting something for your money. I've got several friends had them and even though no bad news followed, I was pleased that the health care system invested in eliminating their fears. :) I hope it is the same for you. :fingers crossed:

            They are just covering every base @Vince..sounds like you've had more 'test's than a test person on test persons day and they still can't find anything .If what ever the problem is it can't be that obvious so keep your pecker up,we've all got your back.:thumbsup:

              @Vince they push those fecal matter tests a lot over here. Nothing like having to play with your poo and spread it on a test strip. I called it the "poo on a stick" test. ;)

              Now, to make like easier, do not eat corn before playing the poo game, you can't smooth the sample..:heehee: And if you're lucky like I was, I discovered that mine smelled like petunias... :fingers crossed:behind my back.... :biggrin:

              It will be another test gone past and done with. :)

                  Vince, we are our own worst enemy. Worrying about the unknown. A single instance of my life. Late one evening I need to visit the loo. Oh' no. Ye gods! This can't be real. I'm peeing blood. I like so many ere afraid, affected by the sight of blood. I could relate so much of my own experience. Most recent, well 2014. I saw my GP and stated my case. Within days, I had a hospital appointment. The examination wasn't pleasant and then to be told. OK! you have bladder cancer. I love eating fish but, this was like being slapped in the face with a smelly herring. My wife was no longer with me, here I stood. No escape. Various scans etc and blood tests, by now my fear of a blood test had gone. I'd joke and say, keep going, soon I'll be a watering can. Since then I have had four operations, and remain on a ten year program. True the outlook may look dim but, can you or I change it? NO.

                  I wish you and anyone else going through this. Stay strong and live for today.

                    Well I'm still alive having undergone the ordeal, got more holes in me than a pin cushion! The staff very good, the hospital? crap!

                    Need to wait for results.

                      Hey @Vince, we're practically twins! I went through some allergy testing and I thought they just scratched your skin a bit but no, it was needles. All subcutaneous and over 20 of them. :gaah:

                      Hope you get your results quick to lessen the anxiety time ;)

                            Show me another hospital and then refer me to an asylum!!!!! If the men in white coats can get past the hairy things with sharp teeth!

                            The dogs have been great, they know all's not right with me and as such, fuss me more than normal, love them to bits and back.
