Kelli,

I've always been the one who must know everything before getting into anything. Whenever my girlfriends popped out a baby, I was getting explicit details on what to expect every second through the process. Now I'll be backing off of that theory.

When I first got into treatment, I was extremely frustrated with my radiation oncologist because I felt he was being so vague about everything. Looking back, I'm glad he was. It would have been more difficult to go through everything, I think, knowing exactly what I was in for. Everyone is different, though.

I recently posted a similar comment to the following: If what you read starts to scare you, skip it. I had to do that to save a lot of anxiety, still do, and probably will always have to. I'm not helping anyone, especially myself, if I become a basketcase.
