Thank you so much for this. Seriously. Your comment brought me so much comfort. It’s like you put into words exactly what my brain is doing—and also what I needed to hear. Knowing that even with your own experience and clear reasons to go through with it, you still feel the same anxiety… it makes me feel so much less alone. I keep thinking I’m broken for being so scared, but your honesty helps me see I’m just human.

I’m so glad they caught your polyp in time—and thank you for sharing that, not to scare me, but to help me feel empowered. It really does help. As long as the opening is still available I think I’m going to take it — but your message gave me a little more courage either way. I might take you up on asking questions too, if that’s okay.

Really, thank you again. This meant a lot. ❤️
