Im numb. I went to the haemotolgist with a lump in my groin 5cm. He really thought it was lymphoma and was direct that it would be cancer. The biopsy was sent off a week ago. And hes just rang its mestatic. Its like a dream. I feel fine. Thats it for me isnt it? Im only 55 where could it be from?

@Salacia

That's a fascinating explanation - yes, it would be wonderful if consultants gave a little more information.

I'm waiting for biopsy results on endometrial cells (two weeks now) and your mind constructs all these scenarios when you really have no idea what's happening.

I do hope the wait for results is bearable as it can be and that it's good news

Oh love, I’m in Aus. I hope the wait time news advice is like here. They give you a time-line and if they find something they tell you straight away, but if it’s not burningly urgent, you find out closer to the time they gave you. Waiting is just horrible. I’m happy to be your person when everyone else is asleep. X

Sod that - now is definitely the time for all the below deck you can handle! In my experience everyone who says they don’t want to watch it is addicted within 3 episodes…

I love Below Deck - especially one of the Australian series where my DS's ex was a guest!

@EachandEveryone Glad your DB is with you - and that he's helping keep you busy.

I got an appointment through today for medical oncologist out patients in December. No further forward on what cancer it is, im hoping the original haemotologist was wrong and its not secondaries but a primary. I keep crying everytime i see someone who doesnt know like the pharmacist in my local shop. Im a practical person and want to make arrangements but everyone is saying its too early wait while I have a plan.

I'm so sorry. This sounds very stressful and scary. I hope you'll get some answers at your appointment in December!! Fingers crossed and best wishes!!

Thinking of you. What a difficult and horrible time. Flowers

Hand hold and a hug.
So unpleasant for you 💐

Silkierabbit · 24/11/2022 11:43

I'm so sorry, also got cancer atm. The waiting is very hard, and it is difficult to plan things though I found you could think of like day things you would like to do then just grab them when you can. And when things are tough take things day by day.

slowquickstep · 24/11/2022 15:55

Hopefully your appointment isn't too far into December. I am glad to hear you have good support x

Allthecatsandcosyblankets · 24/11/2022 19:50

Just a message to say I'm thinking of you OP and hope your wait goes in fast for you xx

jalopy · 25/11/2022 08:33

I hope tomorrow is a good result for you. Flowers

velvetblanket · 06/12/2022 19:39

Oh OP. This waiting must be torture, hoping this is the worse bit. Like someone said to me in here once , when someone gets a diagnosis a whole system and plan kicks in which is reassuring because experts are 'doing the worrying for you' in terms of figuring out the treatment plan and working towards the best outcomes.
Hoping this comes soon for you. X

HugHeart · 06/12/2022 20:17

Will be thinking of you tomorrow EachandEveryone 💐
