Medical Test Phobia

I had a mammogram last week, which re-ignited my medical test phobia, which has kept me unsettled for several days.  Now, I am in the “waiting for the results” phase of my phobia.  In reality, I have no reasonable expectation that there is any problem, but phobias do not pay attention to reason.  They take on a life of their own.

This particular phobia makes me especially crazy.  I know that one is supposed to wait for the postcard in the mail, but I will probably repeatedly call my doctor, who gets the results earlier, to alleviate my anxiety.  At least she knows that I have this phobia and is understanding about it.
