My son has a 4x5 inch Schwannoma on his Brachial plexus. We think it's benign He sees the Dr on Mar 5. I am having anxiety about the wait. Also, I am trying to make his decisions because I am controlling. Any advice?

well advice is easy. Execution maybe not so much.

On your controlling nature. It’s your son. Your family. Decisions need to be made together as a team. The ole 2 heads are better than 1. Do whatever it takes to hold yourself accountable to that. Maybe engage him to help??

When I’m trying to retrain my brain I write things out on post it’s or 8x 11 notepads and put them in places that are unusual.

My brain is so very powerful. Lassoing can be like a full time job. I can be on the couch or even sleeping and it can revert to negatives or possible danger, so along with meditation, I sometimes put the notepad in my path to the kitchen or bedroom on the floor or posts on bath mirror or toilet which the helps me reel myself back in.

All da best
