My partner witnessed her mother die of cancer and still hasn't gotten over it. It's been 5 years. She also saw her grandfather die of cancer. There are times when she needs to have tests done but she continues to put off going to the doctor for fear that she will have to have tests taken, even blood tests. She is petrified that she will be told she has cancer. It's not the taking of the test that she fears, it's the test results. Of course you never get the results right away and the severe anxiety she has while waiting for those results is pretty bad. Do you have any helpful tips that she could try to help her?
