Do you have ANYONE, a friend rather than a relative, whom you can talk this over with, and THEY can come along with a list of questions?
It's what I had to do when I had a scare- a benign something-or-other found while nursing my first son. Scary, totally blew my spoons for thinking, and WAAY more than hubby could do for me as HE was pretty low on spoons, too.
Most doctors UNDERSTAND this - Mary's going to ask questions for me, and because I need extra time to take in all the answers, we can discuss it and then I can make an informed decision without feeling rushed.
Do what's best for you, what WORKS for you, regardless of what "should" happen, or how you "should" be able to cope with all this AND still make rational decisions... That myth can REALLY hurt people!
YOU are totally out of spoons
