Watching cold feet this evening feel my life is mirroring the character with possible/ probable breast cancer.
I am in a similar position am about to have investigations for a gynaecologist cancer - obviously hoping that tests will be negative but I haven't told anyone. I k ow my family would be v supportive but I can't face telling them anything.
I'm hoping that all tests will be neg and I won't ever reveal what's been happening but what if they are not?
Have you been in this situation?

I felt the same when I had a breast lump. I went on holiday and wouldn't swim and just made up some crap instead of tell them I felt vulnerable and odd about what was happening. It turned out all was ok and only then did I say sorry for being weird and told them what had happened

Exactly have a holiday due in two weeks, should have had the full investigations by then but doubt I'll have the results.
If I were to be unwell whilst away the insurance won't cover me - can't sleep thinking about it all.

Hope you have managed to fess up op. I put my mammogram recall test so much to one side last month I missed the next appointment!
What a numpty! If I had confided in someone they would have supported (reminded) me for certain.
