Jackie, I remember once having a similiar experience. Did the scans, brain MRI, and all. But I think we have to do all that when our body is chattering at us in order to move on to the next thing. My sinuses make me crazy sometimes, but we must protect our progress by checking things out. As I've gotten further from surgery and chemo, it does become a little easier to let go when the tests say to do so!
It's just hard, I know.
Sorry about your tenet, but I too, hope it brings you an even more delightful one!
