Hi all. I've been on here for a long time but have name changed.
I'm looking for a handhold please, I'm just so scared.
Without going into too much detail, I've got some mildly irritating and vague but persistent symptoms which eventually got attention from a rhematology consultant last week after a GP referral. Neither doctor seemed to know what was going on. The consultant referred me for blood tests (already done) and a scan (next week).
It occurred to me last night that this could actually be serious and I am struggling to cope with the uncertainty. The scan is on Tuesday and I did not sleep at all last night. I am youngish (late thirties) and with the exception of these recent minor issues would have said I am healthy - but I have lost two friends to cancer in their thirties and that is straight where my mind has gone. I have two very little DC, DD is only three months old.
If anyone has any wise words or distraction techniques I'd be so grateful. I don't feel I'm able to burden friends with this and I'd usually tell my Mum if I was worried about anything but she would be out of her mind with fear.
