Currently I have a left over mass in my abdomen that has been left there since my last rplnd 2 years ago. It is slowly growing in size but it isn't cancer although there is a chance it could be cancer in the future. I isolated for 3 days then spent the night at the hospital but the next morning they apologised and said that their first operation is taking longer than expected and they would like me back in a weeks time.
This would mean isolating again and hyping myself up so I have decided to just call it off. I'm not against having the operation in the future but I need a break from thinking about all of this stuff. I am worried about what the surgeon will say about it when I tell him on Monday or that he may really pressure me into having it done. I just need a few months to take care of my mental health, do you think this is reasonable?
