Good News

So I went to the doctor today after about a week of pain in my stomach. I was encouraged by the fact that they ruled out cancer. That was a big concern considering the fact that my grandfather on my dad's side died of colon cancer. Also the fact that I'm in a decent amount of pain and have lost 7 lbs this week scared me about cancer. The doctor seems to believe that my problems are related to stress. This past week has been fairly stressful, mostly because of my own stupidity and things I've done to put more stress on myself. Thankfully the doctor gave me a prescription for an antibiotic and also something to help with the pain. He wanted to do a colonoscopy next week but when I explained about my responsibilities with school and how it would be difficult for me to keep driving back and forth to NC the doctor said we could do it when I'm done with classes for the semester because I will be at home until June 1 when I go to work my summer job as a camp counselor. It all went better than I thought it would and I'm currently feeling much better.
