Freaking out for no good reason

I should know better than to google things, especially since I work in healthcare. I finished chemo and got the all clear in January 2024.

I’ve been having some back pain lately that I chalked up to overdoing it and a flare up of a herniated disc that I had surgery for a few years ago. But I got on Google last night and have diagnosed myself with a herniated disc, cancer or just being plain ass crazy.

I called my oncologist and to be on the safe side, I’m having a bone scan on Thursday and a CT on Monday and now I’m panicking.

I know there isn’t anything that I can do but wait, but I haven’t even told my husband this is happening yet. I’m not sure I want to panic him either if it’s nothing.
